Organization: Nkwen Baptist Church Youth Fellowship
Project title: The Church for the Community in fostering inclusive education during 2025 World Hearing Day
Primary region: AFR
Country: Cameroon
Event Description:
Having the church as a hub where both hearing and non hearing impaired coexist for fellowship, this celebration will foster acceptance and inclusion of persons with hearing impairment. As a continuous effort to what we have been doing at a small scale, this project shall support us to bring together church leaders in Bamenda and educate them on the importance of inclusion as a fundamental biblical responsibility of the church. Basics of the American Sign Language shall be thought to these leaders to support them communicate with those who have hearing impairment. As a matter of sustainability and building from this WHD support, a forum shall be created for these leaders where continuous training and sharing of information will be done. The current Anglophone crisis in Cameroon has left many deaf and they can only find solace in the church making the support of this project an urgent priority.
