We Are the Deaf Heart

As members of the deaf community, we are a vibrant and diverse group bound together by shared experiences, language, and culture. Deaf individuals navigate the world through visual communication, utilizing sign language as their primary mode of expression. Our community encompasses a wide spectrum of individuals, including those born deaf, late-deafened individuals, and those who identify with Deaf culture regardless of their hearing status.


Deaf culture is rich and multifaceted, with its own traditions, values, and norms. Central to our identity is a strong sense of pride in our language, American Sign Language (ASL), and our collective history of resilience and advocacy. We celebrate our unique perspective on the world and work together to promote awareness, accessibility, and inclusion for all deaf individuals.


As a community, we are united by our shared goals of empowerment, equality, and representation. We strive to break down barriers, challenge stereotypes, and create a more inclusive society where deaf individuals are valued, respected, and afforded equal opportunities to thrive.

We Are Committed to the Empowerment and Inclusion of Deaf Communities Worldwide

Our approach encompasses emergency relief, long-term preparedness, and inclusive initiatives. In times of crisis, we provide immediate assistance and prioritize long-term resilience. We advocate for inclusive emergency planning and address systemic barriers. We're dedicated to eliminating homelessness by addressing root causes and providing support for housing stability. Through partnerships, we offer assistance, employment support, and access to essential services for a brighter future

We are steadfastly dedicated to addressing poverty within Deaf communities around the world.

We're dedicated to alleviating poverty within deaf communities globally. Through tailored programs, we promote economic empowerment through hand-on job training and entrepreneurship, ensuring sustainable livelihoods.

We embrace human worth: Our commitment to people.

Every individual holds inherent value, crafted uniquely by divine hands. In our work and relationships, we honor the dignity and worth of each person—those we serve, our donors, staff, volunteers, and their families. Upholding these values fosters open, honest connections, nurturing personal and spiritual growth within our community.
