Hearing and Seeing shouldn't be a luxury

By Lloyd | Project Volunteer

Hello Supporters

Can you believe it has been 3 months since we last spoke! We are thrilled to share an update on the impactful project you generously support. Your contributions are making a difference in the lives of children facing vision and hearing challenges in South Africa.

Over the past few months through outreach programs in rural and disadvantaged communities, we conducted vision and hearing tests for children as a result teachers and community leaders are now more aware of the signs of these disabilities, ensuring early intervention. After testing each child our team refers all the children that failed to the right medical services, these services sometimes are free but the families can’t afford a day of work or the transport cost to take children. Your donations have enabled us to provide life-changing hearing aids and glasses to children and our team works with each family to ensure we get the child the support they need. This includes our team making and taking the children to appointments or covering transport costs. If through further testing these children need glasses or hearing support then we have been using your donations to make this possible! 

Children with adequate vision and hearing perform better in school, reducing inequalities they face daily. By including them in the development process, we empower them economically and reduce dependence. Improved vision and hearing boost children’s confidence, enabling them to participate fully in their education and you are a part of this. 

Thank you for being part of this transformative journey. Together, we are creating brighter futures for South African children—one step at a time!

With heartfelt gratitude, 

 

Lloyd, 

South African Intern
