Japan assists the Lebanese Society
for the Blind and Deaf
Japan supports the Lebanese Society for the Blind and Deaf for rehabilitation of the Lebanese School for the Blind and Deaf in Baabda. This support is aimed at securing the healthy
and safe educational environment for the students. Ambassador of Japan to
Lebanon Mr. Koichi Kawakami and President of the Lebanese Society for the Blind and
Deaf, Mrs.
Laure Doumit, signed the grant contract of US$67,797
to this effect at the Embassy of Japan on 21 July
2011.
This is funded by “Grant Assistance for Grass-roots Human Security
Project (GGP)” of Japan. Japan’s GGP supports development projects at grass-roots level proposed by
such bodies as nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) and local governmental
authorities in Lebanon. Japan has so far extended through GGP more than US$ 10.2 million since
1996.
