Our Story

Building bridges for the Deaf community

We're on a mission to create a more inclusive South Africa through education, advocacy, and meaningful support.

The Foundation

Founded to bridge systemic barriers

Voice of the Voiceless was established in response to the systemic barriers that limit access to education, communication, economic participation, and social inclusion for Deaf individuals in South Africa.

In South Africa, thousands of Deaf children are born each year, yet many face delayed diagnosis, limited access to sign language, and insufficient educational and economic opportunities.

We seek to bridge these gaps by providing resources, advocacy, education, and partnerships that promote inclusivity and equal participation in society.
