Mission Statement & Purpose
The mission of the National Federation of the Blind is to
achieve widespread emotional acceptance and intellectual understanding that
the real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight but the
misconceptions and lack of information which exist. We do this by bringing
blind people together to share successes, to support each other in times of
failure, and to create imaginative solutions.
The purpose of the National Federation of the Blind is
two-fold—to help blind persons achieve self-confidence and self-respect and to
act as a vehicle for collective self-expression by the blind. By providing
public education about blindness, information and referral services,
scholarships, literature and publications about blindness, aids and appliances
and other adaptive equipment for the blind, advocacy services and protection
of civil rights, development and evaluation of technology, and support for
blind persons and their families, members of the NFB strive to educate the
public that the blind are normal individuals who can compete on terms of
equality.
