Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind
Stories of a lifetime written in the mind and printed on the heart.
For over six decades Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind has been dedicated to the inclusion of visually impaired person, through access to education and culture. Founded on March 11, 1946, Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind is now na internationally recognized institution for the quality of their Braille books, spoken and digital accessible to visually impaired person, which are provided to more than 5.000 schools, libraries and organizations throughout Brazil, as well by the rehabilitation services for blind people and with low vision. It also offers clinic programs for low vision, special education and employability. The history of Dorina Foundation began to take shape when Dorina de Gouvêa Nowill, blind at age 17, felt the enormous shortage of works in Braille at Brazil. Today, 65 years after the beginning of its activities, the institution has one of the major Braille presses in the world, in productive capacity. Some say that in the last 60 years “there isn’t in Brazil one blind person literate who has not been in their hands at least one Braille book produced by Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind”. Nonprofit organization and with philanthropic character, over the years Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind has produced more than 6.000 titles and 2 million printed volumes in Braille. The institution, also, produces more than 1.800 works in audio and about another 1.000 accessible digital titles. In addition, more than 17.000 people were answered in clinical services for low vision, rehabilitation and special education. It has been more than six decades of dedication and many accomplishments. All this thanks to donors, volunteers, friends and sponsors who believe in the mission of the Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind and make the institution a reference in the work for social inclusion of blind people and with low vision. Through Philately, Correios mark and disseminate on this issue a commemorative sheet the importance of the work done, aiming the inclusion and accessibility of blind people or with low vision, as well honor Dorina Nowill Foundation for the Blind, example of dedication, achievement and perseverance in action of his mission.
