Pertis, the Islamic Association of the Visually Impaired, is a non-profit organisation run by the visually impaired in Malaysia. It is the sole publisher of the Braille Quran and the space where the printing is performed is no bigger than an office pantry.
Says Zakaria Yahya, Chairman of the publishing bureau, "There is actually a big demand, but we are unable to meet the orders fast enough due to staff shortage and a lack of capital to purchase additional printers."
