LET'S EMPOWER AND ENABLE THE DEAF

Sign Language is not only the most productive medium of instruction for deaf learners, but it empowers and enables deaf people to fully develop personally and culturally. It is the only tool we have to fight against poverty, oppression, marginalization and inequality.” The full and practical recognition of sign language as the language of the Deaf is yet the single most critical factor hindering inclusion of the Deaf people into the Tanzanian society.

ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Objective and relevance ”the World around us”

The full and practical recognition of sign language as the language of the Deaf is yet the single most critical factor hindering inclusion of the Deaf people into the Tanzanian society.

Deafness is a unique kind of disability that affects an individual’s access to communication, rendering them unable to communicate effectively with the majority of the society members who use spoken languages. Normally, a signed language removes the communication barrier between the Deaf and Hearing communities, which in this context is Tanzanian Sign Language (TSL)
