Jūrmala Society for the Blind was founded on 24 August 1994. The founders of the Society are Jānis Avots and Žēnija Grīda. Mr Avots retired and devoted all his free time to the TO. Mr Avot also, together with the members of the Society, designed the flag of the Society. The general meeting for the flag dedication was attended by the then President of the country, Vaira Vike Freiberga. We continue the work we started with honour to this day. We are doing everything within the Society to ensure that our members can fully integrate into society and not be separated from normal life. We would like to thank the Jūrmala City Council for their support, both in terms of funding and transport.
Our cooperation partners are Ventspils TO, Balvi TO, Jelgava TO. At the moment we have 22 active members.
Since 27 April 2022, Iveta Vilka has been the Chairperson of the Board.
