The "Listening and Solidarity" project aims to support hearing-impaired and deaf-blind children in Goma, North Kivu, DRC. These vulnerable children face isolation, violence, and neglect in an unstable environment. The project will provide care, education, and psycho-social support while strengthening local resources and raising awareness. Your donation can help provide the opportunity for these children to thrive and live with dignity.
In Goma, North Kivu, hearing-impaired and deaf-blind children are among the most marginalized, facing neglect, violence, and a lack of education and healthcare. The prevalence of these disabilities is high, exacerbated by conflict and consanguineous marriages. Local centers like NGUVU YETU are struggling with limited resources to support this vulnerable population, leaving many children without hope for a better future. Immediate intervention is crucial.
The project will enhance the capacity of the NGUVU YETU center, improving its infrastructure, resources, and training programs for disabled children. It will provide psycho-social support, raise awareness in the local community, and offer individualized care to the most vulnerable children. By strengthening the community's involvement and the center's capacity, the project aims to provide hearing-impaired and deaf-blind children with the tools for autonomy, education, and inclusion
This project will foster long-term social inclusion by empowering hearing-impaired and deaf-blind children through education and psycho-social support. By strengthening local capacity and promoting community awareness, it will create a culture of inclusion and respect. The project's impact will extend beyond immediate assistance, ensuring these children can actively contribute to their communities and lead fulfilling lives despite the challenges they face.
