The theme — “From Communities to Classrooms: Hearing Care for All Children” — speaks directly to a reality GNAD has championed for decades.
📊 Over 470,000 people in Ghana live with hearing loss. More than 80% of deaf children lack access to qualified teachers or Ghanaian Sign Language. One in three deaf children misses their first four years of schooling.
Deafness is not a barrier to learning — exclusion is. GNAD calls on government, schools, and communities to act now and ensure every deaf child has the support they deserve.
