The American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) has a long, proud history of
removing barriers, ensuring inclusion, and creating positive change in the
world for millions of people with vision loss. Yet, despite nearly a
century of progress, much work remains to ensure a level playing field for
people who are blind or visually impaired. Today's social and economic
systems continue to produce and perpetuate staggering inequalities among
people with vision loss, leading to higher levels of unemployment,
increased isolation, lower graduation rates, and poverty. AFB is committed
to creating a more inclusive and just society by mobilizing leaders and
influencers, championing impactful policies and practices, and promoting
understanding of the most effective drivers of change. Our vision is a
world without limits, where people who are blind or visually impaired are
working, going to school and participating in community life, unhindered
by barriers.
