Purpose

The aim of the dialogue is to create a platform for Deaf people to be educated on their rights, and also for the community to be educated on Deaf people rights. The community will gain knowledge and be able to recognize and respect the rights of deaf people as we have deaf people living among the community.

2. Format and programme

The LYF and DDP aim to create and provide awareness by educating the community of Lindelani on issues concerning the wellbeing and the rights of Deaf people living in the area.
