Mission:
Advancing the self-determination of signing Deaf communities by strengthening local capacity in developing countries.
How We Work:
We educate and strengthen Deaf-lead advocacy organizations through organizational development, capacity building and human rights training. Every step of the organizational development process is a collaborative effort between DDW and its partners, leading to community ownership of the program and outcomes.
The collective goal is to improve the standards of education, communication accessibility, employment opportunities and human rights for Deaf people around the world.
Our team works closely to ensure that children and adults who are deaf and hard of hearing have access to information and knowledge to perform effectively in social, educational and employment.
