Job Training for the Blind
ARGENTINA
While unemployment is a persistent problem throughout the region, it is even more so for the blind and visually impaired. The combination of dependency fostered by public assistance programs for the disabled and the weak institutional capacity of organizations representing the blind, have made it difficult for them to develop as individuals and contribute economically to society.
