How can I reach blind people? (self.Blind)
submitted by Rebeccadu58
My company has Braille books for free for the visually impaired, but it's seems very hard for me to reach blind people directly. I've been trying to fill my waiting list these last 3 months, but on Instagram and Facebook, no one seems to be interested or fears it might be a scam.
I sent over 30 books in the past 3 years, but recently it's harder. Any idea how I could do this?

Do you have a website?

Surely I do. And there is a way to contact us via a form to get a free book. However no one applied right now

What’s the URL?

Well it's a French children's book. But if you know anyone interested, just apply here: https://rebeccamargaretwall.jimdofree.com/fran%C3%A7ais/contact/contact-pour-recevoir-un-livre-en-braille-ou-grands-caract%C3%A8res/
You can find out about the book googling: la fourmi indépendante
Pages are also in English.

Do remember that a ralatively low proportion of the "blind" are totally blind, and of those a small number read braille.
You're effectively trying to supply a very small market.

Your best bet would be to take them to an organization that works with the blind, or a library. Most libraries can accept Braille books as donation, although not all libraries lend them out (the libraries in my area have a central system that deals with braille books).
It also depends on what the books are. If the books are cookbooks or kid's books, those are very different groups of people who would use the book.

They are children's books. I'm consider sending them to libraries. Good idea.

Could you link up with a local charity for the blind?

Maybe I should do that indeed.
