Welcome to the South African library for the Blind

Libraries should be places of refuge for everyone, including those who are blind or who have print disabilities.

SALB encourages partnerships to bridge the technological divide that exists between the blind and print disabled - and their sighted counterparts....

As every blind and print disabled person should be able to read - the book of their choice - in the language of their choice - in the environment of their choice.

Malawi Daisy Training Project

The FORCE Foundation, seeing a need to assist blind and print disabled learners in Malawi, contacted the Ministry of Education in Malawi and proposed a project, to provide financial aid and equipment, to set-up a Daisy recording studio in MALAWI. The Studio was to be used to produce Audio only Daisy educational reading material to the blind and print disabled primary and secondary school learners in Malawi. All blind and print disabled learners are integrated into normal classes in schools in Malawi.

The Director of the South African Library for the Blind was contacted by Peter König of the FORCE Foundation to request whether SALB would be interested in providing Audio Only Daisy Production training and support to this project. Read More - by Melton Kivitts : Audio Production Section Head - SALB
