For more than 10 years, this Foundation has been providing technology to people who are blind or vision impaired through the use of assistive / adaptive technology.

They estimate that the Foundation, with help from Lions Clubs all around Australia, have provided approximately 1000 pieces of equipment, enabling many people, including carers, a measure of independence.

Thanks to all the people they have been associated with over the past 10 years, including their Blindness Agencies, Occupational Therapists, the Blind Community, GS1, Insignia, En-Vision America and their individual Lions Clubs who sponsored and helped many recipients.
