Sound Seekers (The Commonwealth Society for the Deaf) delivers practical solutions to support people with hearing loss to realise their rights by enabling access to healthcare and education.
Hearing loss can be both a cause and effect of poverty. To combat this, we work to secure the future of people with hearing loss in some of the poorest communities of the developing world.
We do this by partnering with:
-major hospitals and health service providers to improve the prevention, identification and management of hearing loss
-schools to improve the quality of education for children with hearing loss
-communities and wider stakeholders to raise awareness on hearing loss and advocate for equal opportunities for people with hearing loss.
Sound Seekers helps improve the lives of thousands of people with hearing loss in some of the poorest communities in the world.
We currently work in Cameroon, Malawi, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and Zambia.
We are a small team of four people, based in London.
