With Deaf Heart International, we aspire to create a global landscape where deafness is not a limitation but a strength.
We envision resilient deaf communities globally. With unwavering commitment to empowerment and advocacy, we create a world where every deaf individual is embraced, empowered, and celebrated. Together, we aspire to shatter barriers, realizing the full potential of every deaf person.
Our mission is to empower deaf communities worldwide through advocacy, assistance, and resilience. We provide essential support before, during, and after disasters. With commitment to inclusivity, we aim for a world where deaf individuals are valued, respected, and pursue their dreams confidently.
Our core values drive our mission: empowerment, inclusivity, compassion, collaboration, and resilience. We are committed to creating a world where every deaf individual is embraced, empowered, and celebrated, where barriers are dismantled, and opportunities
abound for all.
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're committed to supporting deaf communities globally, including marginalized populations and those experiencing homelessness. 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'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 advocate for improved access to essential services like education and healthcare, fostering inclusivity and social integration. By raising awareness and empowering deaf individuals to advocate for their rights, we aim to break the cycle of poverty and create a more equitable world for all. We're committed to uplifting deaf individuals from poverty, enabling them to thrive and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
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.
our commitment is deeply rooted in our understanding of the challenges faced by deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. As a Deaf-led organization, we bring a unique perspective to crisis response, ensuring inclusivity and cultural sensitivity in our approach. We prioritize the needs of all community members, including those with disabilities, to ensure their voices are heard and their needs are met
