inABLE has a mission to empower blind and visually impaired people through assistive computer technology and income generation skills. By partnering with special schools for the blind in Kenya, inABLE helps students become computer proficient, and equips them with employable skills and knowledge necessary to become economically independent.
UNFCU Foundation is supporting inABLE’s assistive computer technology training for visually impaired students. This training, hosted at the Thika High School for the Blind, provides students with critical skills needed on their paths to economic independence, including those needed for university education and eventually the job market.
The skills training helps visually impaired young adults to become independent users of technology, thereby opening doors to access educational information and more engagement opportunities. With UNFCU Foundation’s support, the organization will be able to assist and train additional students.
