LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired
Currently residing in Florida, Bhenoy “Ben” Dembla (B. Dembla) spent more than three decades in the engineering, sales, and venture capital sectors prior to his retirement. As a Chemical Manufacturer with General Chemical Corporation in Chicago, Illinois, he managed all company sales in the Midwest. Alongside his work, Ben Dembla has been a committed supporter of various non-profit initiatives, such as LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Based in San Francisco, LightHouse of the Blind and Visually Impaired was the first non-governmental organization in California to represent people with vision impairments. Josephine Rowan founded the community in 1902 as the Reading Room for the Blind, a group that met in the basement of the San Francisco Public Library and helped community members with disabilities access printed documents. In 1914, the Reading Room for the Blind was renamed the San Francisco Association for the Blind. Under its new superintendent, Ruth Quinan, the Association saw substantial expansion of its services and activities, as well as a need for larger facilities. The Cowell industrial family offered to meet this need by buying land and constructing a building in 1924. The new premises continued to grow their education and employment services, offering Braille classes and making and selling household goods such as cane furniture and baskets, which Quinan had trademarked as “Blindcraft”. The 1950s saw the organization merge with Recreation for the Blind to form LightHouse for the Blind and Visually Impaired. Today, their services extend beyond people with visual impairments to include people with hearing loss.
