about us
How we care for children
Nyakibale Lower Deaf Unit is a live-in educational unit that supports deaf and hard of hearing (HOH) children and children with disabilities who are vulnerable and often neglected by their community. Every child deserves to be loved, safe, and have dignity.
Currently, we are supporting 68 children on our unit with ten teachers and seven support staff. Our goal is to help and support these children with a quality education that meets their unique needs while also providing guidance and counseling to their families so that the whole family can thrive.
Nyakibale Lower Deaf Unit is a catholic-founded school, established in 1995 to reduce the number of deaf and hard of hearing children left behind in the school system, communities, and families lacking support and resources.
Over the past 20 years, more than 500 children have passed through Nyakibale Lower. After completing primary seven, some have gone ahead to join secondary schools or vocational institutions. Most, if not all, have found their place in the broader community, taken up a trade, started a craft, and have found empowerment through their improved self-identity.
WHAT WE DO
Changing the way we care
Children should be families and kinship care, not orphanages. Kids have the best chance to thrive when they grow up in a family.
That's why we're committed to strengthening families, and we shifting towards a family-based care model.
