Kilimanjaro Blind Trust Matching Grant - Africa

As announced at the Africa Forum in Ghana this past July, the Kilimanjaro Blind Trust is launching a 3 to 1 matching start up grant, up to $10,000, to assist in establishing a Perkins Braille machine repair program. The applying Grantee must have a firm separate commitment of $30,000 towards the repair program before applying to the Kilimanjaro Blind Trust for this matching grant. The $10,000 will not be issued until the funding commitment for the $30,000 is formally committed through writing.

If the program is progressing after the first year, additional grants of $10,000 each will be given for two successive years.
