Dear Supporter,
Thank you for being the very first person to stand with deaf children in Nigeria. Your early gift may seem small in amount, but it is powerful in meaning. You have helped take the first step toward restoring hearing for 150 children who have been living in silence.
Right now, many of these children have never clearly heard their mother’s voice, their teacher’s instruction, or the laughter of other children. Some struggle in school not because they lack intelligence, but because they cannot hear. Without intervention, they risk falling permanently behind.
Because this project has now received its first donation, we are beginning preliminary coordination with local health professionals and community partners to identify children most in need of screening. However, full activities cannot begin until we reach a stronger funding threshold. Hearing screening equipment, medical consultations, and hearing aids require upfront costs.
Here is what your support is helping us prepare for:
We still have $68,335 remaining to reach our goal. Early momentum is critical. Projects that gain strong support in their first weeks are more likely to attract additional donors and matching funds.
If you believe every child deserves the chance to hear, learn, and thrive, please consider sharing this project with your friends, colleagues, and networks. One share can bring the next donor. One donor can change a child’s entire future.
Together, we can turn silence into sound.
With gratitude,
Empower Future Initiative
