Hearing connects us to the world around us. Everyone deserve the chance to communicate and access the world around them.
Some reports estimate that there are nearly 30,000 people who are deaf/HOH in Jamaica. However, there is currently only ONE Audiologist in the entire country. Poverty combined with hearing loss can have devastating effects on one's life.
It is our mission and vision to expand the awareness, access & outreach efforts we have developed over the past decade in the USA, combined with our seven years of service to the deaf in Jamaica, to create hearing loss awareness, start a hearing screening and early intervention program as well as increase the interest in audiology and speech & language professions in Jamaica.
We cannot do it without your support! Help us launch PHASE ONE along with our Jamaica born and raised board member & intelligent audiologist, Dr. Charlene Modeste. We need to pay for a demography report and then plan a series of meetings with government and high ranking officials in the country of Jamaica to plan our future support of this lovely nation and its people.
