 The Japanese government has donated vision and hearing screeners to the Maldives Autism Association. 

The donation was handed over in a ceremony attended by Japanese Ambassador to Maldives Keiko Yanai and Autism Association’s CEO Dr. Ismail Shafeeu last Wednesday. 

The screeners were donated under an agreement between Autism Association and the Japanese Ambassador in 2019.  

The donation is also part of the Japanese Grant Assistance for Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP). 

The GGP program focuses on supporting improvements in various fields including education, transport, health, and other sectors.
