CHIWO strongly believes that education is the key to success, so it’s our desire to see to it that all deaf children who do not have access education get an opportunity of being sponsored. Some parents in rural areas still do not take an initiative of educating their children or simply do not know the importance of education. It is very hard for parents with deaf children to see them as possessing ability, valuable or whole beings. As a result, the parents don’t see investing in their children’s education as worthwhile. The deaf children are then denied a right to education. This short-circuits their dreams and desires for the wholesome living and a desirable future that every human being should have.

We are improving access to the quality of education for deaf children.
Children are our next generation and they too have passions and dreams, it’s from such observation that we started up a sponsorship program to help identify sponsors for the deaf children that we have on program. We focus so much on changing the mindsets and attitude of the communities towards deaf children.
With your involvement, we believe you can stand in the gap of these children and help to transform their lives by supporting them with school fees.

Many deaf children in Uganda lack access to education because their school fees is as twice as those of hearing students. For $70 a month, you can help send a child to school to receive better quality education hence hop for a brighter future. In this way they get to learn how to communicate using sign language with friends, family and community.
Many parents of the deaf children struggle to send their children to school hence this leaves many of them out of school. This becomes extremely hard for them to compete with other children their age. At Chiwo, we care so much about the value of education.
