As time progressed, KADECT reach has also expanded to schools and assistance for deaf and disabled children in The Gambia. A prominent development has provided an otherwise ignored community with the chance to gain education, employment and business opportunities. Thus allowing all deaf children the chance to decide their own future, reassurance for their families as well as a source of employment for teachers involved.

In the areas that we work there is almost no education infrastructure for deaf children – if you are a deaf child you are often left at home with very little prospects for the future. The impact having an education and mainstreaming into society is very profound for the students at the KADECT schools.
