Ibsar Association prints the Holy Qur’an in Braille

Ibsar Association, a civil society association in Tunisia, carried out a project to print the Holy Qur’an in Braille in collaboration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs.

This is Tunisia’s first initiative that aims to enable the blind to read the Qur’an for free, while the ministry works to distribute printed copies to mosques across the country.

The visually impaired in the Arab world, numbering around 25 million people, suffer from a lack of capabilities and funds to print books they can read, in addition to basic difficulties in the Braille language, which is designed for Latin letters, and there are no copies of Arabic.

A considerable segment of the visually impaired has been able to overcome their difficulties in adapting to society as a result of technological development.
