NAGDU is a strong and proud division of the National Federation</span><br><span>of the Blind. NAGDU conducts public awareness campaigns on issues of guide</span><br><span>dog use, provides advocacy support for guide dog handlers who face</span><br><span>discrimination, supports sound policy and effective legislation to protect</span><br><span>the rights of guide dog users, offers educational programs to school and</span><br><span>civic organizations, and functions as an integral part of the National</span><br><span>Federation of the Blind.

The NFB believes that the</span><br><span>real problem of blindness is not the loss of eyesight, but low expectations</span><br><span>of the blind that create obstacles to achieving their highest potential. The</span><br><span>Federation provides scholarships to blind students; support for those who</span><br><span>are blind or losing their eyesight; advocacy for the blind facing</span><br><span>discrimination; and educational programs for the general public on topics of</span><br><span>blindness. The NFB is not an organization that speaks on behalf of the</span><br><span>blind; they are the blind speaking for themselves.
