About Us

Blind Help Project (BHP) is a volunteer community that helps blind and visually impaired people use technology with confidence. We find accessible software, explain how to use it, and bring people together so nobody has to figure it out alone. Everything we do is free.

Our story

It started on 16 June 2014 with a Facebook group called Blind Help. Muhammad Hamza, a blind student from Pakistan, set it up as a place where blind people could share software and help each other use it.

Abdullah Zubair joined him soon after, and the two of them turned the group into Blind Help Project. Our first website went live on 6 April 2015.

A lot has changed since then. BHP is now run by a team of volunteers, most of us blind or partially sighted ourselves, and our community has members all over the world. But the idea is still the same as it was on day one: blind people helping blind people.

What we believe

We believe blindness can be reduced to a mere physical condition. With the right tools and a bit of guidance, technology opens the door to education, to work and to doing things on your own.

That's why everything here is free, and why it's written by people who use screen readers every day. A lot of what we publish starts with a question someone asked in one of our groups.

Or, as our slogan puts it: Envisioning a Brighter Tomorrow Through the Lens of Technology!

Some numbers we're proud of

• More than 12 years of volunteer work
• Over 1,200 software titles, apps and games, each described with screen reader users in mind
• More than 8 million page reads
• Over 8,000 members in our Facebook group, plus thousands more in our WhatsApp and Telegram groups
