Prague, 27 October 2005 - The results of the T-Mobile Fund grant programme have become known.

Applicants from Prague 11 and the Hradec Kralove and Louny districts will soon receive cheques in the total value of nearly CZK 2.5 million. The official awarding of funds will take place in the T-Mobile buildings in Hradec Kralove, Louny and Prague.
"We are really pleased about the large number of people who found our programme interesting. We believe that the next round of this programme which is planned for 2006 will also meet with great interest," says Jitka Chocova, Corporate Social Responsibility Manager at T-Mobile.
The evaluation committee for City District Prague 11 has decided that a total of 16 projects out of 30 grant applications submitted will receive financial support.

Financial support will be granted particularly to projects which are focused on sports and leisure-time activities for children and young people, projects for integration of disabled children in pre-school facilities and projects focused on assistance services for vision-impaired persons.
The winning projects include the Daily Activities Center - People for People project submitted by the ESET-HELP association, which focuses on educational activities for people with chronic mental disorders, as well as projects for the construction or renovation of several children's playgrounds in the Jizni Mesto area, and projects focusing on work therapy for disabled people living in Prague 11.
