World Braille Day was recognised on the 4th of January and we wanted to highlight the importance of Braille in supporting communication accessibility and literacy for people who are blind or visually impaired.
Fun facts about Braille:
🔹 Braille was invented by Louis Braille when he was just 15 years old
🔹 It’s read through touch, using patterns of raised dots
🔹 Braille supports independence, learning, and inclusion
🔹 It’s used worldwide in many languages — including here in South Africa
Accessible communication matters.
Today, we celebrate the tools that help everyone be seen, heard, and understood.
