Description: The Challenge 285 million people are estimated to be visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 million have low vision. About 90% of the world's visually impaired live in low-income settings. Less than half of visually impaired children are receiving education. The girl child with visual impairment receives less attention and is doubly discriminated against. Almost none of the growing number of visually impaired children with additional disabilities receives any educational services.
The International Council for Education of People with Visual Impairment (ICEVI) is the world’s major association of individuals and organisations concerned with equality of access to appropriate education for children and youth with vision impairment.
