The Liberia Christian Association of the Blind (CAB) INC. was founded by a group of the Blind with few dedicated and professional fully sighted Liberians on 28th April 1985 in the city of Monrovia. At its formation, CAB is to cater to the Blind and others with various visual disabilities. Its activities came to a halt in 1989 due to the war and had to be re-activated in 1991 and formally incorporated by an act of the Legislature in 1993. CAB is now fully operating in Liberia as a non-governmental association of the blind and partially sighted.

What is CAB’s Mission?

CAB, as an NGO, was founded to advocate for the rights of the blind and partially sighted individuals within the Liberian society. Among the issues being addressed by CAB are the lack of representation in matters affecting the blind; lack of means of self-employment; lack of any credible national policy program to serve the needs of the blind; and the lack of equal opportunity for the blind like the right to education, employment etc.

What is CAB’s Goal?

The primary goal is to ensure and provide technical support and advice on the needs of the blind to the larger society thereby eradicating the various forms of social discrimination currently being meted out against them. In prevention of blindness amongst the Liberian people as well as vigorously seeking to educate those already blind without discrimination.
