Dear Prayer Partners and Donors,
We truly appreciate your thoughtful contribution $1000 to Kenya Christian School For The Deaf. As a charitable organization, we’re able to make clear deaf face masks and save many lives each year because of your continued support. As most of us are well aware COVID-19 Pandemic that has touched every aspect of Global citizen's life.
The purpose of Kenya Christian School For the Deaf was to reach out and engage donors/well-wisher to contribute towards supporting deaf children and vulnerable deaf youth.
We reached our goal of distributing COVID-19 FACE MASK to 1,121 deaf children and the vulnerable deaf youths 0f which we gave each 2pieces of COVID-19 Face mask, and as well we were excited about welcoming 30 volunteers to help us with the distribution of COVID-19 FACE MASK . We had to turn away 1,549 deaf children and vulnerable deaf youths away because we ran out of COVID-19 FACE MASK. See the liink
However, as the proliferation of face masks to reduce the spread of coronavirus is resulting in communication difficulties for the hearing-impaired; and for the more than 2,000,000 Kenyans who are Deaf or hard, face masks have made it almost impossible to communicate with those who aren’t familiar with Kenyan Sign language.
Wearing a mask without being able to read their lips is very, very difficult “Not only that, they rely on the facial expressions and yet can’t see the whole face to get the right information, these extraordinary times have brought everything into standstill.
Hesbon a beneficiary says and i quoute, "we understand that everyone wants to be protected, including our community, but it really creates a barrier when you’re doing things like shopping.
We know that times are tough, but there are still reasons to smile. REASONS YOU HAVE SMILED RECENTLY. What made you smile today? Below are the photos of deaf beneficiaries.
