Goal

The Foundation for Children with Hearing Loss in Southern Africa wishes to raise funds for a 12-month school bursary for 4-year-old Marumo Makgatho, a pupil at Eduplex pre-primary school in Pretoria. 

Marumo, who has hearing loss, gets up at 4am every morning to take two taxis to travel from Winterveldt to Pretoria every day. He attends Eduplex school because here he is provided with the speech and language therapy and audiological management that he needs to reach his full potential.

The Foundation for Children with Hearing Loss in Southern Africa's vision is to make a difference in deaf education.

The Foundation focuses on changing the lives of children and adults with hearing disabilities by embracing two main projects. It offers financial assistance for under-resourced deaf children with bursaries to attend school and receive speech- and language therapy. The Foundation also assists with financial support via fundraising for children and adults in need of cochlear implants.
