About us
Our Mission
Sound Seekers is dedicated to helping deaf children in the poorest communities of the developing world, by supporting projects that advance understanding of their needs and improve their access to health services, education, and social support, together with initiatives that enable children to avoid, or overcome, the effects of deafness and ear disease.
Our Approach
Working primarily through local organisations and institutions
- We build and sustain local capacity, so that professionals have the skills and tools they need to help deaf children themselves.
- We provide equipment and training so local health workers can diagnose and treat hearing loss, fit hearing aids, and provide an effective referral service.
Providing resources for deaf and hard of hearing children to lead better lives and be able to utilise as many opportunities as possible
- We provide support for schools for deaf children, so teachers are better able to provide a quality education to the children in their care.
Changing attitudes and response to deafness and disability
- We work to improve people’s understanding of the needs of deaf people- especially important in cultures where disability can be considered taboo.
