Social Enterprise (SE) Programmes

The Real L.A.C.K. Facing the Deaf

  • Language deprivation
  • Attitude that does not affirm
  • Community that excludes
  • Knowledge that is limited

Our Mission in Addressing the Real L.A.C.K.

  • Enable full language access to reach and teach the Deaf in their natural language (JSL). Inspire them to learn written English as a second language.
  • Provide an affirming attitude towards Deaf identity as part of diversity created by God for His glory.
  • Create an inclusive community that nurtures healthy identity development.
  • Empower growing in knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord, of own identity, and own role in being a functioning steward in the world.
