Production Units
One of the statutory purposes of the Lighthouse for the Blind of Greece is the professional rehabilitation of the visually impaired people, which is greatly promoted thanks to the 3 Production Units-Sheltered Workshops under operation. The 3 Production Units are unique professional fields of their kind in the country, offering job opportunities to blind and visually impaired people. These Units employ blind and partially sighted workers, men and women, as well as people with other disabilities, according to the Greek legacy, a significant and unique fact, since the professional outlets and training opportunities, for these people are quite limited.
ISO Certification
The production units have special and updated technological equipment and are certified with the ELOT EN ISO Quality System 9001: 2015, ensuring excellent quality levels. The products of these Workshops are the subject of cooperation with various Municipalities nationwide, the Armed Forces, Private and Public hospitals and Companies in Greece and abroad. In fact, there is a specific legal framework relatively to the direct award of contracts to the association exclusively, with its exception of the tender procedures, for the assurance of the operation of the Workshops and the maintenance of the working positions for the blind workers.
