The Federal Nigeria Society for the Blind is a non-profit organisation established for the rehabilitation and training of adults and adolescents living with vision impairment in Nigeria. Established in 1955, we are still the only non-governmental boarding institution solely committed to rehabilitating those who got blind at some a point later in life.
Our main aim is to restore lost hope, ignite confidence and raise champions who can live productively, independently and contribute to the socio-economic growth of society. We are funded by philanthropic donations. We equip students to learn Braille, mobility skills, computer skills and vocational skills such as basket weaving, tie-dye, music and shoe-making and prepare students for higher learning in university.
Till date, we have positively impacted the lives of about 2500 visually impaired Nigerians, raising champions and we are extremely delighted to introduce to you, our annual celebration event titled, May Ball on 28th May, 2016 at the MUSON Center.
