The Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB) today had the honour of hosting Ms. Diana Dalton, the Deputy British High Commissioner in Nairobi, at its Head Office in Barclay House. The visit underscored the strong and growing partnership between KSB and the UK Government through the Digital Access Programme, which continues to promote inclusive technology for persons with visual impairments.
During the visit, Ms. Dalton received a comprehensive tour of the organisation’s facilities, gaining firsthand insight into how the Digital Access Programme has enhanced KSB’s capacity to deliver innovative, accessible, and technology-driven services. The tour included demonstrations of accessible digital tools, an overview of KSB’s clinical services, and a session at the audio production department, where adaptive technologies and solutions are developed to support individuals who are blind or visually impaired.
Speaking during the visit, KSB leadership reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to expanding digital access and improving the quality of life for persons with visual impairment across the country. The engagement also highlighted the shared vision between KSB and the British High Commission in driving inclusive digital transformation.
“We are grateful for the continued partnership and support that has empowered us to scale our services and promote meaningful inclusion,” said **Mr. Samson Waweru**, the Executive Director of the Kenya Society for the Blind. “Through collaborative efforts, we are ensuring that persons with visual impairments are not left behind in Kenya’s digital evolution.”
Under the wise and visionary leadership of Mr. Waweru, the Kenya Society for the Blind has experienced significant growth, strengthening its role as a national champion for accessibility, empowerment, and the rights of visually impaired persons.
