In Uganda, 5.9% of the population is visually impaired, with 144,000 people completely blind. Many visually impaired individuals come from disadvantaged backgrounds which limits their access to higher education and learning spaces designed to accommodate their educational needs and employment opportunities. The lack of professional development options hinders their integration into the workforce and perpetuates dependency.
