There is no better gift for a person with visual impair than enabling access to communication, to education and the computer literature. Very much inspired by such a dream, Vodafone Foundation in Albania is working with partner organizations to design and produce a dedicated text-to-speech solution in Albanian language for a community of more than 20,000 beneficiaries.
On top of available amount contributed by Vodafone Foundation, 35 other businesses responded to the call for a fundraising event by Vodafone Foundation. It was named “Dinner in Dark”. It gathered 230 participants, among whom many celebrities and distinguished personalities, who attended and enjoyed an art-performance-dinner in complete darkness in a restaurant in Tirana, served by a team of visual impair community. The software is under testing stage, and it will be shortly ready for launching in early autumn.
Total investment: 10,000,000 Leke, out of which 5,000,000 Leke is contribution of fundraising event, and 5,000,000 was matched by Vodafone Foundation.
