Project Needs and Beneficiaries

We are addressing isolation, total exclusion and infringement of people’s Human Rights of those who cannot hear and speak. Unlike those with visual and limb impairments, respectively, they can hardly work in offices because nobody understands them and they cannot interact with the public. We want to eradicate Sign Language Illiteracy in the six geopolitical Zones of Nigeria in order to include the hearing impaired who are totally excluded.

Activities
Sign Language Clubs targeting 500 pupils in each of six geopolitical zones will be made. Experts from churches will be hired to teach. We will provide sign language materials and books. Each student will them become a trainer to other Clubs.
Expected Outcomes
Hearing impairment will no longer be a handicap as a generation will all be sign language literates. Those with it become useful members of the society no longer isolated/ excluded. For now they lack communication, a vital weapon for survival.
Project Message
About four million of our kits and kins in Nigeria cannot communicate with us, we must reach them by learning sign Language.
