Deaf Child Worldwide
Deaf Child Worldwide is an international development agency of the National Deaf Children's Society in the UK.
Since 2002, Deaf Child worldwide has supported organizations working to help deaf children overcome the barriers that contribute to their poverty and isolation and to have an impact on the lives of deaf children, their families, service providers and policy makers by establishing quality partnerships with locally-based organizations.
Deaf Child Worldwide opens its 8th round of Small Grants Program (SGP) on 19 March 2009 and ends 30 May 2009. Projects are being funded up to 3 years, and up to £30,000 in total (£10,000 per year).
The SGP supports projects which show clear, measurable and sustainable improvements to the lives of deaf children and their families in developing countries. Deaf Child Worldwide believes that families should have access to all the skills and information they need to support their deaf child. This contributes to improving communication and reducing isolation.
Through SGP, Deaf Child Worldwide aims to raise families’ awareness and knowledge of deafness and their role in their deaf child’s development. Activities which build families’ capacity to communicate with and support their deaf child’s language, social and emotional development are crucial to achieving this aim.
Deaf Child Worldwide also aims to develop and produce culturally sensitive and quality educational and information material for literate and illiterate parents. We want parents to be in a position to help their child to develop communication skills and to make informed choices on the best available communication approach for their child.
