World Braille Day is celebrated on January 4th each year to raise awareness about the importance of Braille as a means of communication for individuals who are blind or visually impaired. This day honors the birthday of Louis Braille, the inventor of the Braille system, which allows people to read and write through tactile dots. The observance encourages governments, organizations, and the public to promote accessibility and inclusion for those with visual impairments. Events and activities are organized worldwide to highlight the significance of Braille literacy and to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities.
