Our Mission
"To provide impaired persons with the community based preventative and rehabilitation services in order to empower them to achieve their maximum potential"
TIBA services for the Blind
DonateWho Are We?
Established in 1977, Tiba makes a significant contribution in providing services for the visually impaired. Services are rendered to a wide area covering Lenasia, Ennerdale, Eldorado Park, certain pockets of Johannesburg, and all the huge growing informal settlements around Lenasia, consequently the demand for the services is escalating.
Food for Thought
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, who I am to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people wont feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God is within us.
It's not just in some of us, it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we consciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
