A person with visual impairment faces a lot of challenges in finding employment in Africa mainly because most employers fear having persons with visual impairment in their organizations Mainstream organizations who have persons with visual impairment in their organizations should give such people an equal opportunity in their work place by giving them a working environment where they can compete equally with their counterparts. This presentation is by an employee in an international bank who shares her own experiences such as doing the same work as sighted colleagues, and the fact that she was recently declared employee-of-the-quarter. The presenter notes that despite it being 2015 and the MDG’s have not been met, yet the hope is that with motivation and support, persons with visual impairment can work independently and make a difference in an Africa where unemployment for persons with visual impairment is just but an historical footnote.
