Purposes and the Way of Work
The aim of WFDB is to improve the quality of life of visually-hearing impaired individuals worldwide. One of the most important activities undertaken by WFDB is the identification and determination of visually-hearing impaired individuals in order to end the isolation of these individuals.
The WFDB also aims to provide information on the visual-hearing impairment and the type of service required for visually-hearing impaired individuals to lead an independent life. In addition, the WFDB strives for visually-hearing impairment to be recognized internationally as a specific type of disability.
It has strong communication and active cooperation with organizations such as WHO, UN, The European Deafblind Union (EDbU), The African Federation of the deafblind (AFDB), The Latin American Federation of deafblind people (FLASC). It has been contributing to the realization of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals since 2015.
