In Zambia today, Deaf children and youth walk long distances of more than 20KM just to access special schools for the Deaf. In Kitwe, Zambia, the Jennifer memorial Community Day School is struggling to provide quality education to 53 students who come to the school from towns and villages in the region. Most Deaf Education schools in Zambia are day schools requiring children to travel home each day. Once at home, Deaf children are deprived of language since most home families have no knowledge of of Zambian Sign Language (ZSL) which they learn in the Deaf School. Learning sign language gives Deaf children a path to a successful and productive life.
And now, especially during the worldwide Covid19 pandemic, access to education for at-risk deaf children is more difficult than ever. To address this challenge, Give back To Community (GBCZ) is partnering with the Jennifer Memorial School to support 10 full residential scholarships for students who are the most vulnerable. These scholarships support students to be able to live full time at the school, where they receive housing, meals and safe supervision. Without this support, these students would remain isolated with their families who live in severe poverty and without any language development or education.
