Deaf children like all other children have the right of care and protection from abuse, right to education, health and family life. Further enjoyment of all human rights on an equal basis with others is including respect for their evolving capacities and their right to preserve their identities. Empowering families: We believe that families have a key role to play in caring for and defending the rights of Deaf children. For parents to effectively do this, they need to be able to communicate with their children, they need information, help to mobilize and they need to overcome their own development challenges. Poverty is a key barrier to empowering families in Kenya. We believe that in order to achieve the best possible outcome for Deaf children and their families, for whom all our work is carried on their behalf; we need to put in place strategic partnerships with donors and supporters. Responsibility to all our stakeholders, integrity and good governance are critical in our operation in order to manage resources put in our trust for the benefit of all Deaf children. Kenya Society for Deaf Children (KSDC) is managed by a very competent management committee composed of Educationalists, Health Specialist, Financiers, Programme Development Specialists, teachers and parents. It is a very committed team and gives maximum service to the organization. The Management Committee submits their report and audited financial statements during their financial year that ends on 30th June. The Management Committee is composed of 24 members who have formed 3 sub-committees for ease of management.
