Kenyan Nonprofit Launches $500,000 Fund to Support Assistive Technology Startups

Assistive Technologies for Disability Trust (AT4D), a Kenya-based nonprofit, has partnered with the Judith Neilson Foundation to establish a $500,000 fund aimed at supporting early-stage assistive technology startups across Africa. The Momentous Pilot Fund targets digital solutions that improve mobility, communication, inclusive education, independent living, and digital accessibility for people with disabilities. This initiative seeks to address the low access to assistive technologies on the continent, where nearly 200 million people require such products, yet only one in ten can access them. (techcabal.com)
