An agreement was signed on Tuesday in Rabat between the Alaouite Organization for the Promotion of the Blind in Morocco (OAPAM) and the Mohammed VI Foundation for the Publication of the Holy Quran to print 3,000 Braille copies of the Quran for the blind, both nationally and across Africa. The signing took place in the presence of officials from both institutions and is part of ongoing efforts to provide visually impaired individuals with access to religious knowledge while promoting inclusion and equal opportunities, according to a joint statement. This marks the third edition of a well-established partnership between the two organizations. Under the agreement, 3,000 Braille copies will be printed free of charge and distributed to blind and visually impaired people throughout Morocco's regions as well as to blind Muslims across the African continent. This initiative aligns with OAPAM's strategic priorities, under the chairmanship of Princess Lalla Lamia Essolh, which focus on defending the rights of blind individuals and expanding their full participation in religious and cultural life. It also stands as a strong example of institutional cooperation, demonstrating the Mohammed VI Foundation's commitment to diversifying ways of disseminating the Holy Quran and ensuring its accessibility and understanding by all members of society, including those with visual impairments.
