AuditionSolidarité is committed to helping disadvantaged deaf and hearing-impaired people worldwide.
Madagascar faces major difficulties in guaranteeing access to education for hearing-impaired children. The reasons for this are the lack of specialized education and the exorbitant cost of hearing aids. With the support of the Air France Foundation, AuditionSolidarité’s new project aims to equip 160 deaf and hearing-impaired children aged between 3 and 18. These hearing aids will give them access to sounds, facilitate their integration and improve their quality of life and perspectives. The teachers at the Aka Ma partner school will receive training in the new technical requirements related to hearing aids and articulation via speech therapy. “Audio and Speech Therapy books” and the necessary ENT equipment will be provided to make the school autonomous over the next 24 months. This centre will become a benchmark for the future 2025-2027 project that will form part of the Miara-Mianatra programme run in partnership with the Malagasy health and education authorities.
