Thousands of Deaf learners lack accessible sign language platforms for education and health

Our Commitment

 Deaf Outreach Program is transforming learning and health outcomes for the Deaf community through sign language-accessible content and technologies focused on education and reproductive health.

We do this because we believe Deaf education matters and that every Deaf learner deserves an equitable foundation in education and health as essential pillars for personal growth, community well-being, and sustainable livelihoods.

OUR REASON
