Founder's Note
"Deaf Access Foundation was created to support greater access and opportunities for Deaf communities in Nigeria, particularly through education and community engagement."
"As a Deaf individual, I have experienced both the possibilities and the barriers that can exist. This work is rooted in the belief that Deaf students and communities should have access to opportunities, information, and support that allow them to thrive."
