Our Mission is to
provide support to Mississippi Industries for the Blind in order to
expand employment opportunities and programs that promote
independence and self sufficiency for people in Mississippi who are
blind or visually impaired.
In this day of high unemployment, one
statistic that is often over looked is the number of people who are
blind that are unemployed. Over 70% of people who are blind are
currently unemployed. With Mississippi having the highest incidence
of blindness in the country, there is a significant number of
Mississippians who are blind that are out of work.
By supporting the programs of Mississippi Industries for the Blind,
the MIB Foundation is working to create employment opportunities for
Mississippians who are blind. But, Mississippi Industries for the
Blind wants to do more than just employ people, they want to reach
out into the community to help improve the lives of all people who
are blind.
Your donation to
the MIB Foundation
will help make this happen.
