Deaf Vocational Training, Personality Development & Employment

Our organization aims at enabling the deaf and dumb people to attain a level where they are at a level of economic independence and society recognition about their potential. We have basically designed few job oriented training courses and employment aiding aiming to address deaf unemployment, under employment, and deaf self-employments. We are also working towards deaf community development programs related health issues, socializing, workshops, fun events, family planning etc. for their welfare.

Training Programs Includes -

• Basic Skills in English- For Deaf people who have Sign Language as their first language, it is difficult to get along in a developed society, built on digital communications. Digital communication depends mostly on the written word.

We want to give all Deaf adults a new opportunity to learn to read and write English.
