Empowering people with visual impairments
since 1922

Inclusion at the heart of our priorities

Eqla is a leading Belgian non-profit organisation committed to advancing inclusion for people who are blind or visually impaired. For over 100 years, Eqla has been driving tangible social impact by enabling individuals to live independently and participate fully in society.

Every year, Eqla supports hundreds of children, adults and seniors through tailored services that address the real-life challenges of visual impairment. From mobility and daily living arrangements to digital accessibility and access to culture, Eqla delivers practical, individualized solutions that empower long-term autonomy.

Beyond direct services, Eqla acts as a catalyst for systemic change. The organisation works closely with companies, public institutions and cultural stakeholders to make environments, products and services more accessible. Through training, advisory services and innovative partnerships, Eqla helps organisations turn inclusion into concrete action.

Partnering with Eqla means contributing to measurable social impact while strengthening your organisation’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Whether through sponsorship, employee engagement, accessibility projects or awareness campaigns, each collaboration creates meaningful change for people with visual impairments—while generating value for your brand and stakeholders.

With a strong local presence in Brussels and Wallonia and a recognised expertise in visual impairment, Eqla combines human support, innovation and advocacy to build a more inclusive society.

Together, we can ensure that inclusion is not just
an intention, but a reality.
