The Kilimanjaro Blind Trust, in partnership with Perkins International, advances braille literacy among students throughout East Africa. The Kilimanjaro Blind Trust was launched by a group of friends who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro. Led by Erik Weihenmayer, the acclaimed mountain climber who is blind, five blind climbers summited Mt. Kilimanjaro and set a new record.

The Kilimanjaro Blind Trust reaches thousands of children by: Teaching braille literacy to children, Distributing new Perkins Braillers to schools and agencies for the blind and training teachers in braille instruction.
