VAANI Deaf Children's Foundation

We work on the crucial issue of early childhood deafness. The most unique aspect about our work is that we not only teach deaf children but also their parents/family members - thus ensuring that the training is sustainable and that parents/family members are equipped to handle the child’s needs of communication, learning and comprehension. Further, VAANI works with teachers in government schools, local CBO's and Government departments, gram panchayats, and the general public, to raise awareness about the issues of childhood deafness, and also has a presence on high-level decision making bodies to effect changes in policy towards deaf education. With this holistic approach to the issue of childhood deafness, VAANI ensures that every aspect of the deaf child’s ecosystem is sensitized, trained and impacted.
