Solidarity in sight
‘Solidarity in sight’ has been the objective of Blindenzorg Licht en Liefde since 1923. Every person has a right to an inclusive life. We are a national organization people with sight loss in Belgium (especially Flanders and Brussels). We offer respectful support and take action to enable people to fully participate in an inclusive society.
Licht en Liefde is a network of visually impaired people, professionals and many volunteers, who collaborate to build expertise.
Blind and partially sighted field experts play a central part. Cooperation with related organizations, within and beyond the regional boundaries, is essential to our strategy.
