KUB Resource Center
In 2009, with the support of the German Development Cooperation through the German Technical Cooperation (GTZ) Health Sector Programme, KUB opened a Resource Centre for youth with visual impairments. Its purpose is to reduce vulnerability of youth with visual impairments to violations of their rights through increasing their access to information on reproductive health, gender based violence and human rights.
The Resource Centre produces information in formats accessible to persons with visual impairments including digital text, Braille, audio (MP3) and large print. It also offers computer training courses to youth with visual impairments, providing access to information, allowing them to perform better in school and preparing them for the job market.
