Challenge

In Nepal thousands of Deaf people never have chance to gain an education or even to learn how to communicate. Many people living in the developing world don't have access to education & for the Deaf community,this then extends to the ability to learn a communicative language.The reason is there aren't taught sign language within a formal education setting along with peers.As a result, many individuals will go through life unable to make friends, share ideas, earn a living and live a normal life.

Solution

NAD conducts 10 months Nepali Sign language & literacy training to the Deaf adults. In addition teach participants to understand about Deaf society,culture,rights & deaf organizations. After the course has finished they will be able to communicate with other Deaf people using NSL and with the wider hearing community using an NSL interpreter. NAD will pay them for the expenses like transportation, stationery. They can become members of the Deaf organization and able to find better opportunities.

Long-Term Impact

This project will solve the problem of communication barrier of Deaf people.They can communicate to each other through sign language which is their fundamental rights.They will engage with Deaf friends,various activities,associations then also aware and struggle for their rights as well as other necessities.By increasing the number of Deaf people who are members of the Deaf association supports to strengthen the Deaf community more generally, fight for equal rights and local government funding.
