LeaMcD Deaf - Ethiopia

LeaMcD Deaf Education and Social Service is a Non-Government Organization, which is legally founded in Ethiopia to reach the needs of the Deaf community. Deaf communities in Ethiopia are not getting equal opportunity like other citizens because of many reasons, such as a high information gap because Ethiopian sign language is not used in schools, health centers, media, Political issues, and different places. The government body, as well as societies, is not aware of deafness, and there is also discrimination. The Deaf community is not actively participating in many areas of the country. Many Deaf children, Deaf women, youth, and older adults are left out.
