Madrassa An-Noor School for the Blind MegaVoice Perkins Solutions RTI Uganda Saksham Sci and Tech for Blind Nigeria Youth Project Under The Same Sun (UTSS) Zychem Limited WELCOME REMARKS From The Perkins School For The Blind On behalf of the Institutional Development Program (IDP) and our global partners, Perkins School for the Blind would like to welcome you to the 6th Africa Forum in Kampala, Uganda. The Africa Forum is the signature event of the IDP, which Perkins co-founded 25 years ago in an ongoing effort to empower Africans who are blind and visually impaired. The spirit of collaboration will be in full force at Africa Forum. Participants from more than 50 countries will be in attendance. Together, leaders, policymakers, activists, educators and technology experts will join voices and help shape the future of blindness advocacy in Africa. 
At Perkins School for the Blind, we believe that education and vocational training for all is at the very foundation of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. That’s why we are working with local partners in 67 nations to strengthen educational programs and services, train teachers, support families and advocate for inclusive policies. From education to advocacy to adaptive technology, so much of what Perkins stands for will be on display at Africa Forum. We at Perkins and IDP are proud and honored to be your hosts.
