Alhamdulillah in 2014, people around the world working towards braille Quran literacy formally organised ourselves and registered as a union in Istanbul. This is the first step towards global cooperation and a symbol of the unity of the ummah around the world working together to promote access to the Quran for the blind. As it stands now, our members come from 14 different countries - Turkey, Malaysia, Indonesia, South Africa, Palestine, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran,India, Pakistan, Yemen, United Kingdom
and Germany.
Selahattin Aydın president of International Union of Braille Quran Services as well as our Turkish colleagues recently hosted a visit by blind schools in Somalia and Mogadishu in order to begin training the blind there to read the Quran in braille.
