Deaf Rights Network

Welcome remarks from the principal Director.

Having managed to have this website brings an icon of hope that there is bigger step reached to the realization of the dreams in our objectives where we have an idea that sharing information on deaf issues is one way of devising the best practices and avenues in the transformation of the deaf peoples fundamental RIGHTS and FREEDOMS just as it is to persons who have no impairments.

This website is going to be used to carry out Research, Lobby, Advocacy and Networking on the affairs of the deaf persons in Uganda and across the globe.  One of the key issues that we hope to address fort includes seeing the realization of the “right to education of the deaf child”. This will take us to the extent of de campaigning the vise of “child labor” of the deaf child as iit is common in our local communities especially where both subsistence and commercial farming is common.The deaf children are denied their inherent right to education and altered to be in such worst forms of child labor which subjects them to health complications too.Others deaf children have run out of homes and are in city streets doing luggage lifting works for wages.

I wish all those persons that shall find this website interesting, educative and important , to use it so as to transform lives of the most vulnerable for equality of Humanity in this world where we have behavioral diversity.

Yours in service,

Andrew Yiga
