We started our journey on February 26, 2019. Since the first day, we have aimed to include the visually impaired people in social life and to liberate them. Three months after our establishment, we won our first award, the Imece Social Innovation Award. With this award, the trust of our partners and the visually impaired community has increased in us. After 2 months, we won our first international award, the Social Impact Award. Thanks to this, BlindLook has become known in the international social enterprise ecosystem. The last award of 2019 was the special award we won at the ITU Big Bang Challenge from Anadolu Efes. Despite the pandemic, the year 2020 started off great for us and we were accepted into the HSBC Sustainable Growth Program. Later, we innovated our product and joined the Albaraka Garage incubation program. We completed 2020 with the İbrahim Bodur Social Entrepreneurship Award, carried out in partnership with Ashoka. Finally, we got together with different women entrepreneurs by participating in the Google #SheMakes program. The Garanti BBVA Woman Social Entrepreneur of the Year award once again demonstrated how well we are on the right track. We know that inclusive transformation is possible and we work for it.
