About Us

KL Braille Resources was founded in 2004 by Dato' Haji Mah Hassan Bin Haji Omar. He is a firm believer in creating better opportunities in education and employment for the visually impaired. By now, KL Braille Resources has collaborated with various parties, the government agencies and also civil society organisations in the book publishing industry. In the course of the event, the organization also provides dozens of job opportunities for the blind.

KL Braille Resources started with Braille literacy projects with the objective of uplifting the wellbeing of vision impaired persons in education, employment and the ability to be independent.

We further believe that every individual is responsible and able to serve and get their due rights without discrimination.
