Blindness is no respecter of persons.
It strikes without regard to race, religion, sex or nationality. In the United States, 1.3 million Americans age 25 and older have severe visual impairments, causing them to make adjustments in areas of careers and every day living situations. Lions World Services for the Blind was founded in 1947 to serve people who are blind and visually impaired who needed to learn independent living skills or job training skills that considered the special requirements of their individual visual impairments. Since that time, LWSB has served more than 10,000 individuals from 50 states and 54 other countries. LWSB is accredited by the National Accreditation Council of Agencies Serving the Blind and Visually Impaired.
