– HELP US BE THE DIFFERENCE –
Did you know that converting a Gr 8 Mathematics textbook into braille can cost up to R85 000? Although braille textbooks are vastly more expensive than printed books, once it is on hand, braille reprints cost about 3% of the original cost (+/- R2 550).
Your donation will help blind learners to gain knowledge and information independently, opening doors to new opportunities.
Remembering us in your will and/or trust is a very effective way to ensure that our work will be continued. By leaving a legacy gift, your values will live on in the impact that we have on the lives of the visually impaired. We recommend that you consult with your financial advisor to assist you in planning your estate.
We measure our performance by the efficiency and
effectiveness in which we manage donations to ensure the optimal utilisation of funds towards sustainable impact.
Furthermore, we advocate the transparency and accountability of all donor funds.
Learners in schools for the blind have limited options when choosing textbooks. Sponsoring the development of one book will increase these options and make it available to all schools for the blind.
At Pioneer Printers, we believe that blind people should not have to pay more than sighted people pay for the same reading material. Your donation will be used to reduce the difference between the production cost and the sale price of reading material for the visually impaired.
Investment income from our reserve funds currently covers approximately 15% of our operating expenses. We aim to grow these funds into an endowment fund that, in the future, will bring us closer to financial self-reliance. This will ensure that accessible formats can be sustainably distributed to visually impaired people.
Your contributions to our investment fund will be the gift that keeps on giving.
