SPONSOR A CHILD
Currently, in Uganda, there are approximately 1,084,964 Deaf individuals, representing nearly 3% of the population (UBOS data, 2014). Alarmingly, about 95% of adult Deaf persons have never received an education due to factors such as poverty, stigma, and discrimination. Education is a fundamental human right that not only empowers individuals but also fosters overall development and societal progress.
At Masaka School for the Deaf, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of disadvantaged Deaf children by providing them with education. We have been doing this since 2005. However, we cannot do this alone. We need your support to continue this vital work. We invite you to help us change lives by paying school fees for a Deaf child. You can afford it, and many of your friends are doing it.
Thank you very much for agreeing to join our Sponsor a Child Program. Kindly fill in the details below.
