Our graduates will be able to seek gainful employment in fields that would otherwise be completely closed to them.• Contribute to increased feelings of self-worth, self-esteem and independence for our graduates.• Societal transformation where blind children are viewed as assets to their families rather than liabilities, which will in turn result in more families believing in and investing in their children's future. • Change of social attitudes toward the blind and visually impaired as they begin to be seen as productive members of society. • Expand the nation's workforce with highly trained and highly motivated blind contributors. • Engage in policy change related to education and employment for the blind and visually impaired to support a shift in family dynamics; making children assets rather than liabilities and provide incentives for more parents to invest in their blind and visually impaired children's education.
