Braille Without Borders

Braille Without Borders (BWB) is an international organisation for the blind in developing countries.

It was founded in Lhasa, Tibet, by Sabriye Tenberken and Paul Kronenberg in 1998.

BWB's mission is to give hope and practical skills to the blind and in particular to teach braille to the blind in developing countries; if no braille script exists for a particular language in a developing country, BWB must first develop it.

In August 2017 it was made public that Chinese authorities will shut down the school for the blind as well as the vocational training farm without giving reasons.

The prize-winning documentary Blindsight about this expedition was released worldwide to cinemas in 2006.
