We help people with hearing loss in Africa to gain access to healthcare & education

Story

Sound Seekers is, a very small and unique charity based in London, dedicated to helping people with hearing loss in some of the poorest communities in Africa. They partner with major hospitals, health service providers and schools to establish audiology and education services for children and adults with hearing loss. They help people overcome the effects of deafness by building long-term capacity in Africa, providing skills so that medical staff can identify and
treat deaf people, as well as resources and training for teachers so that children with hearing loss can access education. A basic right that is sadly too often overlooked in Africa once a child has hearing loss. They have projects in Cameroon, The Gambia, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Zambia to help combat some of these challenge. You can read more about their work on their website at www.sound-seekers.org.uk 

About the charity

Sound Seekers (The Commonwealth Society for the Deaf) partners with local schools and hospitals in Malawi, Zambia, The Gambia, Cameroon and Sierra Leone to support children and adults with hearing loss to realise their rights by enabling access to education and healthcare services.
