Empowering Deaf Children Through Education
In Pakistan there are over a million deaf children of school age, yet less than 5% attend school. Deaf Reach, a program of Family Educational Services Foundation, is one of the only branch networks of schools catering to the needs of the Deaf community, providing a full circle solution from education and skills training, teacher development and parent training, to job placement and community inclusion.
Making a Difference
Deaf Reach envisions a future where education is a reality for all deaf children in Pakistan, as we work together with our local communities to educate, empower, and inspire.
Educating
In Pakistan, nearly a million school-age deaf children lack access to education or language development.
Inspiring
Working together with our partners, donors, and volunteers, we inspire lasting change and hope.
Empowering
Every child deserves a quality education, language and social development, and a future of opportunity.
