4Blind Presented Their Solutions at the First African Deafblind International Conference in Nairobi

The conference was organized by Deafblind International (DbI), and its overarching theme was "Reality in Africa: Achieving Sustainable Development Goals — Opportunities and Challenges." It brought together a community of experts, educators, and specialists from various fields to share their experiences, knowledge, and ideas.

Elisaveta Ardashova, Head of the Research Group, delivered a presentation on behalf of 4Blind. She highlighted several challenges faced by deafblind individuals today in communication, socialization, and daily life. She also introduced a technical solution aimed at addressing and mitigating these challenges — the HaptiBraille Communicator.
