SA National Council for the Blind Offers Assistive Technology


Laurence Grigorov leverages nearly two decades of management and property development experience as the director of Laurence Martin Developments in Johannesburg. Outside of his professional activities, Laurence Grigorov contributes to charities that include the Johannesburg Children's Home and the South African National Council for the Blind.

Founded in 1929, the South African National Council for the Blind organizes more than 100 member organizations that work to prevent blindness. The organization also strives to ensure inclusion for individuals who are blind and visually impaired through rehabilitation and community development or training and education. Moreover, the council operates an online store for the blind known as the Enterprise Shop.

The council’s Enterprise Shop offers an array of braille reading materials in addition to assistive technology devices. Products range from liquid level indicators and computer reading devices to toys for children who are blind and talking watches. For those in need of assistance, council staff are on hand to provide assessments and make recommendations. 

The store’s most popular products are featured in a PDF catalog that can be downloaded from the Enterprise Shop page at http://www.sancb.org.za/article/our-enterprise-shop.
