The launch event, held at the new facility, featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony led by deaf students alongside Richard Geary, Founder of Deaf Reach in Pakistan. Mr. Richard emphasized the organization’s long-term vision of inclusion and opportunity, stating, “This center brings us one step closer to our goal of ensuring that every deaf individual in Pakistan has access to quality education, relevant training, and a path to self-reliance.”

Located in a building provided by the Punjab Government’s Social Welfare Department, the center was renovated with generous support from Style Textiles. The facility is now set to offer a range of vocational training programs, including tailoring, computer literacy, digital design, handicrafts, and other skills aligned with current job market demands. In addition to technical training, the DRSTC will provide career counseling and job placement services, helping participants transition from learning environments into the workforce.

With the opening of this center, Deaf Reach continues to expand its footprint and impact, offering deaf individuals not just skills, but also the confidence and resources to actively participate in society.

With over 700 educators, researchers, and advocates in attendance, the session highlighted a stark reality: although there are more than a million deaf children in Pakistan, only 5% have access to formal education.

Richard’s presentation introduced the full scope of the Deaf Reach model. This includes a growing network of main campuses and satellite schools that bring accessible education directly to Deaf students in underserved areas. He also shared the team’s work in developing Pakistan Sign Language resources and the Digital Learning Program, which is reshaping what Deaf education looks like across the country.

Deaf Reach also provides vocational training and job placement programs, helping Deaf youth gain the tools and confidence they need for long-term success.

Sonia struggled to be heard until her life changed when she enrolled in Deaf Reach school. For the first time in her life, she felt like she belonged. She learned sign language, completed her education, and became a teacher at the very school that supported her and gave her hope. Today, she is the sole breadwinner for her family, proving that when women are given the opportunity, they don’t just survive, they thrive.

Sonia embodies perseverance, hope, and transformation. Her journey of resilience from a silenced girl to an empowered woman is inspirational.
