Hear His Voice Uganda
We are a Non Goverment (charitable) organization serving the marginalized, less privileged hearing impaired children and their families. We strive to meet the physical, spiritual, educational, and social-emotional needs of the individuals and to empower them to reach their full potential and active participating members of the community.

What we do
Education
In spite of the physical needs of less privileged and poor deaf children we recognize that each child is a unique individual with unique learning and developmental needs. We seek to provide education for children as early as possible, starting with pre-primary school services through primary school age.
The pedagogy will provide a secure, caring and accommodative environment that will not only inspire but challenge the curiosity of the young minds of these children to thrive to their full potential.
Our emphasis is to encourage early acquisition and building of strong language and communication skills for the children and to educate and challenge families and communities to provide a secure environment for the development of whole child.
Medical Services
Hear His Voice Uganda endeavors to advance specialized medical services for children with hearing loss. This includes the provision of routine services for overall health and wellness: general exams, audiology (hearing tests, otoscopic exams, programming hearing aids), speech and language pathology
Our future goals also will include surgical services.
