Story

Thanks for taking the time to support the My Turn to Learn appeal.

From 18 October 2017 to 17 January 2018, Sense International aims to raise £450,000 to transform the lives of children with deafblindness in Bangladesh, and some of the poorest countries in the world, by improving access to education and opportunities for work. 

Even a small amount can make a big difference, as personal donations made until 17 January 2018 will be matched £ for £ by the UK government. So please donate whatever you can today.

You can help us support children like Morium. When Sense International first met Morium, her deteriorating eyesight and hearing loss meant that she was on the verge of being taken out of school. Aged nine, her future looked similar to that of tens of thousands of children with disabilities across Bangladesh - a lifetime of social isolation - not able to contribute to the community. Today, aged sixteen, with the support of Sense International, Morium has become one of the first children with deafblindness in Bangladesh to pass her primary school exams. She has grown into a confident young woman, with friends and a bright future.

Morium's story is one of hope; but she is one of the lucky ones. Help us to reach more children with deafblindness facing these challenges by donating to the My Turn to Learn appeal.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
