Empowering Deaf Children Through Education
In Pakistan, over a million deaf children are of school-going age, yet less than 5% have access to education. Deaf Reach, a program of Family Educational Services Foundation, is the only branch network of schools dedicated to meeting the needs of the Deaf community in Pakistan. With a mission to ensure that no deaf child is left without access to literacy and learning, Deaf Reach provides a full-circle solution: offering quality education, skills or vocational training, teacher development, parent training, job placement, and community inclusion.
Making a Difference
Deaf Reach envisions a future where education is a reality for all deaf children in Pakistan. To achieve this, we work with local communities and networks to educate, empower, and inspire.

Empower
Every child deserves a quality education, language and social development, and a future of opportunity.
