Delivered clear face mask

Dear Supporters,

Thank you so much for your generous gift COVID-19 CLEAR FACE MASK FOR DEAF through GlobalGiving on March 2021 We are grateful for your kind and thoughtful support!

We feel privileged that you selected our project to support out of so many wonderful causes. By adding your donation, you’ve become a part of our community of supporters and we’re thrilled to have you on the team.

Until our project is fully funded, we will be sending you regular reports about our work. This will keep you informed about all our accomplishments and show you how your generous donation was used. You can also see our past reports on GlobalGiving. I hope you enjoy learning about our work and continue to stay engaged with our team.

The donation we received helps a lot but there are still many needs especial for deaf schools, after we delivered 620 clear face mask deaf schools, and run short of clear face masks, it has emerged that we are the only organization making clear facemask for effective communication and the demand is too high for us to meet. I therefore call upon Good friends like you to show up and save the lives of Kenyan deaf children and to enable concentrate on their education.

Please consider telling your friends and family about our project—you can share this link to our GlobalGiving project on social media, or just bring us up in conversation. Sharing with your community why you chose to support our organization will help us increase the work we can do in our community.

Many thanks,

Clear face mask for effective communication

Dear Prayer partners and Friends,

We are indeed grateful to all Donors, Prayer partners for your continued support. Even before the onset of a global pandemic, deaf children/community were grappling with rapid, disoriented change. The COVID-19 pandemic, with its public health emergency and economic and social crises, has reshaped how development priorities and operations work.

We are thankful for your donations that has enabled us to make COVID-19 clear Face mask for deaf since the usual face masks is a hinderance to hearing impaired persons and hard of hearing community. Face masks are spreading as a coronavirus mitigation measure, but it’s leaving out a large population of the deaf and hard of hearing. Face masks affect everyone in the deaf and hard of hearing community, deaf people rely on sign language but still need facial expressions for a full understanding of what is being communicated, and those with hearing aids or cochlear implants rely on lip-reading to better understand what is being heard. Anyone with lower hearing losses will have further difficulty with muffled speech.

Not only do they make communication during the pandemic inaccessible, they further alienate the deaf population, which can already feel left out. The facial coverings are increasingly worn by essential workers and public service providers, whereas communication has to be understandable:click the link to see how your donation has empowered our effort in supporting deaf in Kenya.

We have worked tirelessly to sensitize the deaf community on COVID19 pandemic for them to stay at home, and respond swiftly to prioritize their health and safety.

We are appealing you once again, supporters and prayer partners and friends to come forward to support us financial and emotional support for the COVID19 pandemic.

As Kenya school reopens unprecedented challenge has emerged to children’s education and well-being. We must prioritize deaf children’s learning. This means making sure that schools are safe to reopen including with access to hand hygiene, clear face for effective communication, clean drinking water and safe sanitation. Even before the onset of a global pandemic, societies were grappling with rapid, disorienting change. Our special appeal to you! Bring us up in your conversation. We’d love to hear the story about why you’ve picked our project. Click the link below to support and to enable accomplish our mission! http://goto.gg/46536
