Who We Are

DeafReach is a UK-based nonprofit organisation working to transform the lives of deaf and deafblind children and young people across Sub-Saharan Africa.

Led by a dedicated board of trustees in the United Kingdom, we partner with communities, schools, and local organisations to increase access to education, skills development, and employment opportunities for the deaf community.

We believe that where a child is born should not determine their access to learning or their future. Our work is rooted in inclusion, equity, and empowerment, ensuring that deaf children are not left behind.
With strong local partnerships and culturally relevant programmes, we aim to build a world where deaf young people in Africa can thrive with dignity, confidence, and purpose.
