The Society of Professionals with Visual Disabilities (SOPVID) was founded in 2003 by Reginald M.J. Oduor and James Gichuhi. Currently, the membership of SOPVID includes school teachers, university lecturers, lawyers, accountants, engineers, and ICT practitioners as well as other professionals with visual disabilities.
SOPVID welcomes professionals with visual disabilities to be full members, and their friends and families to be associate members. It also welcomes students in middle level colleges and universities to be associate members.
Persons with disabilities are bearers of rights, not recipients of charity
