FRMS – Fundação Raquel e Martin Sain
(The Raquel and Martin Sain Foundation)
Our organisation was established in January 1959 and, by the initiative of its founders, has the objectives of occupation and education of blind people, in particular providing them with opportunities for a working and productive life, together with any other means (educational, cultural or scientific) aiming to improve the situation of blind people in Portugal.
Currently, we work mainly in the field of education for blind adults, providing vocational and long life training, and guiding the integration processes. We work to empower people and provide them with better skills and, in doing so, increase opportunities to access the labour market and to fully integrate blind people into society.
In addition to our headquarters building, Fundação Raquel Martin Sain also has a residential home, which allows us to accommodate students from all over the country.
