A young Ethiopian journalist has produced and distributed the country’s first Braille newspaper. Braille is a system allowing visually impaired people to read by using raised dots to represent letters that are felt by the fingertips. Ms Fiyori said that it will also include special investigative reports on the challenges that people with disabilities face in Ethiopia. “When visually-impaired people go to those places we want them to find Fetil on the reception tables among other newspapers and magazines to read,” Ms Fiyori said. But Ms Fiyori hopes to get support from various charities to subsidise the cost and wants to distribute it free to blind people.
