The implementation of this activities was using a Small Group Discussion (SGD) for 24 blind people at Yayasan Pendidikan Dria Raba. The questionnaire was used to evaluate the success of providing the education by measuring the level of knowledge through pre-test and post-test scores. The activity result shows that the provision of education using Braille books increased the knowledge of blind people at Yayasan Pendidikan Dria Raba. The median (minimum-maximum) pre-test and post-test scores were 65 (30-80) and 85 (50-100), respectively. Education using Braille books for bind people was able to increase knowledge about how to maintain the health of their reproductive organs and avoid sexual harassment or violence.
