Fund Hearing Test for a Struggling Child in Africa

Happy June!

The education system in South Africa is struggling to the point that many schools are being forced to provide half day education to the children to ensure they see them all. Not enough classrooms, teachers means classes are around 50 children to one teacher and then the teachers are being forced to teach another class in the afternoon. 

The results are that children are left at home or playing on the streets with limited education and when they get it it is very poor with the class to teacher ratio. 

With all this in mind children with disabilities like poor hearing or eye sight often go un-noticed and back at home families can't afford to attend or take time off to seek medical testing for their children. It's a huge issue and therefore our team of experts have been trained on equipment that we can take to the schools and community events to test children on site. 

If they fail we then take it upon our team to book follow up appointments and ensure we do everythnig to get the children to attend. The problem is this can be very expensive so currently with the fundraising we are doing we can afford two school testing a year and also have enough funds for 10 students that need further help. We would love to increase our work and so we are currently looking at other local partnerships to help provide some longer term funding but until them we thank you for your support and donations!

Thanks,

Introduction 

Children that lack adequate vision and hearing, fall behind in school, often resulting in a lack of income and are also subject to bullying. By tackling the root cause of their learning difficulties, your donation will not only provide children with the ability to live life to the fullest but reduce inequalities they face on a daily basis and include them in the development process.

Report 

Due to lack of funding or access to resources such as hearing aids, glasses or treatment centres, children are facing learning difficulties and are often bullied due to the lack of education and awareness around the issue. We aim to educate communities and provide resources to children in need. We have managed to raise $695 for this project so far.

Thank you for your support
