At World Vision Zambia, we believe that a child’s ability to communicate and learn should never be defined by their disability. Yet, for many learners who are deaf or hard of hearing, literacy remains one of the most significant barriers to reaching their full potential. Without the right tools, these students are often left behind in a world built for sound.

In many rural schools across Zambia, a significant challenge persists: teachers often struggle to teach literacy in lower grades effectively. Despite the critical importance of developing strong reading and writing skills early on, many classrooms are marked by limited resources, inadequate training, and a focus on rote learning rather than holistic literacy development. As a result, many children enter upper primary school with weak foundational skills, hampering their overall academic progress and confidence.
