Project title: Empower Yourself to Make Ear and Hearing Care a Reality for All
Primary region: AFR
Country: Sierra Leone
Event Description:
Hearing loss and ear-related problems impact millions of people worldwide, leading to social isolation, economic hardship, and reduced quality of life. Many of these cases are preventable through early intervention, awareness, and access to ear and hearing care services. Despite this, stigma, lack of knowledge, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure prevent people from seeking timely care.
The project seeks to address these challenges by promoting awareness, changing mindsets, and empowering individuals and communities to take charge of their ear and hearing health.
