Professionalising Support

We offer professional one-to-one assistance to deafblind individuals in their daily activities by training qualified professionals, including volunteers and guide-interpreters.

Raising Awareness

We raise awareness about deafblindness, aiming to sensitise the public to the needs of deafblind individuals and create a more inclusive environment for persons with visual and hearing disabilities.

Donate

The Foundation’s work primarily relies on community service, with only a portion of our activities funded by project grants. Every donation helps us expand our reach and provide deafblind individuals with the assistance they require and adequately safeguard their needs.
