Improving income for deaf people
The Medicor Foundation funded a 3-year Deaf Development and Information Association (DDIA) project to enable deaf and hard of hearing (HoH) young adults to learn new skills and develop sustainable and profitable enterprises.
Improving health and wellbeing, combating harmful practices
Training, awareness-raising and sustained engagement with schools, communities and local government has helped change attitudes and tackle harmful practices affecting women and girls.
Improving education for deaf and hard of hearing children
The aim of this project was to create a demonstration model that could transform the educational experience of deaf and hard-of-hearing children. We worked in 8 Ethiopian primary schools, creating a living model of inclusion.
