Deaf Action

In Uganda, Deaf Action provides education for deaf students whose families cannot afford to pay school expenses. Some of our deaf students are orphans of war, or have no direct family to care for them. We have students in primary and secondary schools, and some who are now studying at Teachers College and University. They need interpreters and note takers to assist them and this is expensive. Other students are learning a Vocational trade that will give them employment.

The deaf students at Wakiso Secondary School study very hard to pass the same exams as hearing students! One of our deaf students from Wakiso was featured in a newspaper because of his high score this year. They are very dedicated students who will be future leaders of the deaf in Uganda.
