Train a doctor or nurse in sign language

In the DR Congo, people with hearing impairment have almost no access to medical care or education. Local cultural beliefs mean that many people think that the disabled have been cursed by God and so they are often abandoned in childhood or outcast from society as they grow up. Ephphatha’s Centre for the Deaf provides the only medical clinic in the whole region that caters to the hearing impaired through sign language and specialist services.

By training a doctor or nurse in sign language your gift has empowered them to change the lives of housands of people with hearing impairment.
