Braille Without Borders (BWB) was founded with the determination to bring down the barriers of social exclusion that prevent blind people from playing a full role in society. BWB aims to literate blind people with the use of the Braille script so they gain access to literature and a vocation. The main goal is the integration and acceptance of the blind in the Tibetan society, through the four major projects namely the implementation of a preparatory school for blind children, the production of educational materials for the blind, the preparation of a reintegration program, facilitating the return to local schools and home life and the realization of a vocational training which gives blind people an opportunity and skills to generate their own income. BWB is funded by donations from private individuals overseas, and also seeks funding support from government aid agencies.
