The Estonian Blind Masseurs Association (EBMA) helps people who have lost their eyesight acquire the profession of a masseur and start working independently on the general labour market or at the EBMA Massage Centre. 

In 2019, we are collecting donations for installing special lighting, which is appropriate for people with visual impairments, in the hallway in front of the massage rooms and for upgrading our training aids. Making the work environment of blind masseurs safer (including necessary electrical work) and upgrading the training aids will cost €6,500.

The EBMA Training and Massage Centre in Tondi, Tallinn, enables visually impaired people from all over Estonia to come and learn the profession of a masseur, in addition to offering in-service training for current blind masseurs. The centre provides employment for 24 blind masseurs. Seven new blind masseurs are training at the centre in 2019 and most of them would like to work at the EBMA centre.

Established in 1999 by 9 visually impaired masseurs, the EBMA organises in-service massage training for its members, presents and distributes massage equipment, adapts training resources, and offers supported employment opportunities at the EBMA centre, etc.  

The organisation is included on the list of income tax incentive non-profit organizations. Read more about taxes here: Donations and taxes.
