Description

The “Give the Gift of Hearing to a Child” initiative, led by the LetUsHelpNow Foundation in collaboration with community organizations, aims to provide essential hearing aids to children in need. These young recipients are carefully selected based on thorough medical assessments. While many children would benefit from receiving hearing aids for both ears, the current phase focuses on providing aid for one ear to maximize impact and reach as many children as possible. Beyond the hearing devices, this initiative also integrates speech therapy and offers ongoing support. By enhancing communication abilities and fostering inclusion, this program transforms the lives of these children, increasing their chances of seamlessly integrating into mainstream society.

This initiative is being undertaken in phases. 
In this phase 2, hearing aid was provided to 17 children.

Phase 2 is being undertaken in collaboration with IMHO Canada.  IMHO Canada has provided LKR 1,630,700 to Nuffield for this initiative to purchase 11 hearing aids (DYNAMO SP6).  Our appreciation and thanks to the IMHO community.
