Partial or total loss of sight forces people to require alternative means of imparting and acquiring written information. Since its invention, Braille has been the oldest and traditional means of learning. It has enhanced the quality of education for blind students and increased access to information. Sadly, the culture has been declining due to advancement in assistive technologies. This was why the Nigeria Association of the blind (NAB) took a step to redress the deteriorating situation by the organization a Braille reading and writing competition beginning in 2013. This, NAB hopes will bring increased level of literacy and also boost the Braille reading and writing culture in Nigeria. Braille competitions are an innovative and attractive way of encouraging Braille literacy and stirring the interest of young blind.
