(15 March 2010)

Japan supports Vision Association for Development, Rehabilitation and Care for equipping its Medical Rehabilitation Center in Rashaya. This support is aimed at improving the health condition of people in a remote area. Ambassador of Japan to Lebanon Mr. Koichi Kawakami and President of Vision Association for Development, Rehabilitation and Care, Dr. Nasser Abou Ltaif, signed the grant contract of US$75,174 to this effect at the Embassy of Japan on 15 March 2010.
                                                                 
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$ 9 million since 1996.
