Founding story
My name is Kürşat Ceylan, I am the co-founder of WeWALK and blind since birth.
2 years ago, I went to New York to give a speech at the United Nations.
While I was going to my hotel from the airport, with only two hands I was trying to use my cane, pull my luggage, and check the GPS directions on my phone at the same time. Not surprisingly, during this struggle all of a sudden, I bumped into a pole. With a reflex coming from years of experience, my hand went to my head. Needless to say, it was bloody. I have no problem with my scars, I know they make me more handsome but I don't need a new one.
These are not only my problems. According to the World Health Organization, there are 253 million visually impaired people in the world That is why We created WeWALK
