IN 2020, 163 PEOPLE WITH VISUAL PROBLEMS WERE SUPPORTED WITH OVER BGN 230,000

In 2020, 163 people with visual problems were assisted, and the allocated financial resources for this purpose amounted to BGN 237,973. This year, the Social Protection Fund of the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy will continue to provide assistance for the purchase of aids to compensate for visual deficits, such as a reader with software, laptop, screen reader, dictaphone/player for the blind and electronic video magnifier.

One of the next tasks of the SPF is to provide funding for a modern Bulgarian-speaking synthesizer for the visually impaired. It is extremely important for information and communication technologies - a powerful tool that enables different people to participate in the information society.
