So, we have started to explore another way, another forum to reach out to an interesting bunch of folks up by Ashoka. For those of you who have not heard of them, Ashoka is a global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs. In order to facilitate exchange of ideas, Ashoka has started an ideas platform at Changemakers.
So, come check out the group, Solutions for the Global Print-Impaired, started by us at Changemakers. To kick things off, check out our two latest posts there.
Tech and Print Impairment – Some resources and an Intro.

Making Accessibility a business proposition
By the way if you really don’t want to comment there, please feel free to use our Blog’s commenting feature. However, we encourage you to sign up and join one of the most interesting, passionate and clued in communities in the world.
Accessibility is one of the key components to our business. We “build” (install, configure) new PCs and laptops with a custom build and complete set of apps based on Ubuntu Linux, plus training and unlimited tech support… for one small one-time fee. Every Bredtech Computer is accessible for blind / visually impaired users.
We are committed to this cause and have therefore made it one of our core values. We’re also committed to improving it continuously – far ahead of the normal evolution of these products (like Ubuntu itself, for example), installing the cutting edge accessibility tools on every Bredtech Computer that goes out the door – no matter who the customer is.
We actively seek out feedback on ways we can ever improve the accessibility features we pre-install and pre-configure.
