DCB Students Help Visually Impaired Teens Gain Financial Literacy

• Over 60% of the general public that they interviewed agreed that the rights of visually impaired individuals in financial laws were indeed a neglected gap that needed to be filled
• 70% agreed that a Braille handbook on financial literacy and labour laws for the visually impaired was essential.

Meanwhile, interviews with over 400 visually impaired individuals showed that:

• nearly 80% lacked an adequate understanding of financial laws, while
• over 72% shared the unfair treatment that they have received in their places of employment due to a lack of understanding of what their rights are.
