About Talking Hands Foundation

The Talking Hands Foundation is committed to supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in Uganda, with a strong focus on education and inclusion. Together with local partners such as New Hope for the Deaf, we increase our impact and work toward a society where deaf and hard-of-hearing people can fully participate.

Our projects focus on improving the position of deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals by supporting quality, inclusive education, offering vocational training in areas such as carpentry, tailoring, and crafts, and organizing awareness activities that promote understanding of deafness and inclusion within local communities.
