Even in a privileged country like Australia, we see that Deaf/Hard of Hearing children struggle to get sufficient support to learn and develop at the same rate as their peers. The situation for these children is much more difficult in underprivileged countries where access to Cochlear Implants, hearing aids and other technology is limited, difficult and often not affordable. This fundraiser aims to help some of these children access hearing aids to give them an opportunity to have an education, develop and engage in society.
