Problem Statement
In Kenya, Deaf learners are navigating an education system that wasn’t built with them in mind. From classrooms to curricula, most learning is delivered through spoken or written language formats that exclude Sign Language which is the natural language of the Deaf community.
This isn’t just a gap. It’s a systemic failure.
At DEAFOP, we’re disrupting this cycle by developing sign language learning platforms, resources, and environments that center the Deaf learners, ensuring every child has agency in their learning.
OUR MISSION
At DEAFOP, we are bridging the language accessibility gap for Deaf individuals by innovating Deaf-centered platforms and leveraging on technology to improve education and reproductive health outcomes.

FOUNDING STORY
Deaf Outreach Program (DEAFOP) began with a simple but powerful vision: to bridge the gaps in opportunities and development faced by Kenya’s Deaf community. Under the leadership of Ann Gloria Njoki, and with the collaboration of Deaf and hearing community, parents of Deaf children, educators, and Deaf schools, we set out to create meaningful change.
What started as a passion for listening, learning, and breaking barriers has grown into a movement that continues to transform lives. Over the years, DEAFOP has built impactful programs, fostered valuable partnerships, and embraced innovative, sign language-accessible technologies, all aimed at enhancing education and information access for the Deaf.
At the heart of DEAFOP’s work is a commitment to inclusion and advocacy. By blending research, media, and technology, we champion Deaf rights and create sustainable pathways to a more inclusive future.
