The Dorina Nowill Foundation For The Blind has co-founded the Braille Bricks project which helps blind children with their literacy through the aid of Lego type bricks.
Each brick features one Braille letter so blind children can learn to read through play.
There is no other toy on the market like it and it’s the foundation’s dream to see the bricks become available worldwide.
The São Paulo based organization has only manufactured enough bricks for 300 students and the results in literacy have been amazing.

How wonderful would it be for Braille Bricks to be available for blind children in Australia and anywhere in the world?
