Computers for the Blind
Mission Statement
The mission of Computers for the Blind is to open the world of information technology to persons who are blind or visually impaired by providing computer equipment, software and training.
It is our hope that all with a visual impairment may experience the technology in a positive and productive manner.
Specifically we want to enable:
Ability to independently manage personal affairs.
Access to communication with others.
A learning environment where information is just a click away.
Employment opportunities by developing knowledge, skills, and marketable abilities.Project Abstract

CFTB provides computers, to visually impaired persons. All age groups, anyone legally blind and needing assistance. To date, we have provided over 12,000 computers to visually impaired individuals.
