Alhamdulillah Alfitrah Foundation has delivered 3 Braille typewriters to visually impaired students in Johor. Braillers are essential for the blind as they cannot write but they are not affordable to most people as a new one costs almost RM4,000.
We obtained second hand Braillers for them .
KUALA LUMPUR: A daughter of a visually impaired couple is now a step closer to achieving her dream of becoming an eye doctor to help others in the same plight.
“My mum and dad can’t see, so I would like to become an eye doctor to help others who need eye treatment,” said Aliah Maisarah Md Akir, 13, who scored six A’s in the UPSR.
Alhamdulillah in December we continued our project to provide white canes for the blind. This time we distributed them to 50 elderly blind people at MAB Brickfields . Although canes are not expensive at RM25, for a disabled person it may not be affordable.
