Visually Impaired
Helping visually impaired is a project of Ezinet (Mercy), a non-profit organization in Ethiopia.
Ezinet is running by a group of highly motivated and ambitious diaspora sisters. They dedicate their resources, time and money, to help visually impaired young high school and college students in Ethiopia.
Dealing with sight loss, already, is a challenge in itself. The lack of emotional support at diagnosis centers, the limited accessibility to activities and information, the societal stigma and the lack of unemployment, are all factors frequently leading blind or low vision individuals in isolation.
Ezinet is trying to fill that gap and providing support to their day-to-day needs. Ezinet has been putting food on their table and helping to provide tools to assist them to navigate through their day and achieve their educational dream to become eventually self sufficient economically.
