Breaking The Barrier Of The Deaf Community

VIDEO [English Subtitles] - Communication Services: Breaking the Barrier of the Deaf community in Ghana.



ACCRA - About 1% of the population in Ghana has hearing loss. The main challenge for the Deaf community is communicating with the larger society so that they can have proper access to health, education and employment in their country.





The Ghana National Association of the Deaf (GNAD) has the vision to break down communication barriers. They are appealing for the government to recognise sign language as an official language of the Deaf in Ghana.
