Improve Healthcare Access
We advocate for improved access to healthcare services, including preventive care, treatment, and rehabilitation, addressing the specific health needs and challenges faced by the deaf and multi-disabled population.
Empowerment Through Technology
We facilitate access to communication technology and assistive devices, such as hearing aids, cochlear implants, and communication apps, empowering individuals with hearing impairments and multiple disabilities to participate fully in social, educational, and professional activities.
Support Families and Caregivers
We provide support services, resources, and training for families, caregivers, and support networks of deaf and multi-disabled individuals, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to effectively support their loved ones and navigate challenges.
Advocate for Legal Protections
We advocate for the enforcement of existing laws and policies that protect the rights of individuals with hearing impairments and multiple disabilities, as well as the development of new legislation to address emerging needs and challenges.
Promote Employment Opportunities
We increase employment opportunities and vocational training programs for individuals with hearing impairments and multiple disabilities, fostering economic independence and reducing unemployment rates within the community.
Strengthen Communication Access
We promote the use of sign language interpretation services, captioning, and other communication aids to ensure effective communication between deaf individuals, their families, and service providers across various settings, including healthcare, education, and legal proceedings.
Combat Discrimination and Stigma
We raise awareness about the rights and capabilities of deaf and multi-disabled individuals, challenging stereotypes, discrimination, and stigma within society and promoting a culture of inclusivity, acceptance, and respect.
Expand Community Outreach
We expand outreach programs and community-based initiatives to reach marginalized and underserved populations, including rural areas and urban slums, ensuring that no deaf or multi-disabled individual is left behind.
Monitor and Evaluate Impact
We establish monitoring and evaluation mechanisms to assess the effectiveness of programs and initiatives, gather feedback from stakeholders, and continuously improve services to better meet the evolving needs of the deaf and multi-disabled community in Tanzania.
