Resumen
While they took a Change the Game Academy local fundraising course, Tanzania League for the Blind, Kwimba branch, discovered that they had been relying on the same sources of income year after year and that there were many other possibilities which they had never accessed. TLB decided to organise meetings with these 'Friends of children with disabilities'. Their campaign aimed to fundraise in support of educational materials for visually impaired children and to convince the government that the adaptation of school infrastructure to accommodate children with disabilities was long overdue. You will find the story of how they succeeded in this example.Consejos y lecciones aprendidas
1. Involvement of government officials contributed to success of our plan.
2. Follow-up is very important for stakeholders.
3. Few of the stakeholders who pledged did not not fulfill their promises.
Evaluación de Wilde Ganzen Foundation
A 'Friend of children with disabilities', who does not want to be one? TLB Kwimba chose this motto for their first fundraising campaign after their Change the Game Academy training in local fundraising. In the initial phase of the campaign, they identified who they wanted to persuade to become such a friend. And then they chose a personalised approach, which generated significant in-kind contributions and a government contribution for the adaptation of infrastructure in schools attended by (visually) impaired students. The additional bonus was a significant increase in awareness of their work.

Breve descripción de la organización para que los fondos fueron recaudados
Tanzania League of the Blind (TLB) Kwimba is the branch of the national organisation which is a civil society organisation formed in 1964 and registered in 1972. The organisation is formed by persons with visual impairment for the purpose of advocating for the rights of persons with visual impairment in the country.
Tanzania League of the Blind Kwimba branch is committed to improve the quality of life of people with visual impairment in Tanzania through resource mobilisation, lobbying and advocacy, awareness raising, information sharing, facilitating access to education and vocational training and economic empowerment. In pursuing this mission, TLB Kwimba has almost 80 members.
The major challenges being faced by people with disability are: Insufficiency and even lack of educational materials, facilities and unfriendly infrastructures.
So, TLB Kwimba came up with the idea of mobilising resources by mobilising various stakeholders for the purpose of accumulating educational materials and advocating for improvement of school infrastructures.
The resources mobilised were handed over to children and elders with disabilities, to promote an enabling environment for schools with children and elders with disabilities.
