Disability and Development Partners: Improving education for deaf and hard of hearing children in Ethiopia

Very few deaf children in Ethiopia go to school. Those that do quickly drop out having learnt little. This project will work in eight schools to show that it is possible for these children to thrive and for their classmates to accept them. The organisation of deaf people will be supported to work with parents, communities and the government to change attitudes alongside hugely increasing the use of sign language. This will demonstrate how deaf – and other children who struggle in the system – can learn. The project will help move to a situation where children can go on to play a full role in society and the government achieve their aim of full inclusion of all children.
