The NCA Group congratulates Sara Minkara and the entire Empowerment Through Integration team for her appointment to the 2017 Forbes' 30 Under 30 List in the social entrepreneurship division.

Minkara became legally blind when she was 7 years old and experienced a safety net of support for her disability through government and private institutions growing up in the U.S. Minkara realized when she visited family in Lebanon that these privileges were not afforded to blind children in other developing countries. Empowerment Through Integration works with blind children in Lebanon to instill confidence in them, teaching life skills like how to walk with a white cane or how to use a computer. ETI also runs a summer camp for both blind and sighted children.
