History: World Braille Day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of Louis Braille, the inventor of braille. Louis Braille, born on January 4, 1809, in France, became blind after a childhood accident. By the age of 15, he created a reading and writing system based on Charles Barbier's night writing system. Braille's system went on to become a transformative tool for people with vision impairments.
