Our partners

We aim to provide quality and sustainable audiological care to children in need through four interconnected
focus areas: awareness, access, capacity development and advocacy.

Awareness: Zambia

Educating communities about hearing loss is essential for children to receive timely support and care. In Zambia, our project partners Christian Blind Mission and Beit CURE Hospital Zambia operate a network of community-based volunteers, equipping trusted local voices to raise awareness, dispel misconceptions, and connect families with the hearing health services their children need.

Access: Cambodia

Long-term partnership enables sustainable impact for children with hearing loss. Our project partner in Cambodia, All Ears Cambodia, has grown over 16 years into one of the country’s leading providers of specialized hearing care, operating four centers and an extensive referral network bringing screening, diagnostics, and hearing aids to thousands of children.

Capacity development:
Kenya

Building local expertise promotes timely diagnosis and care for children with hearing loss. In Kenya, our project partner Sense International Kenya trains public health workers in Kwale County, embedding hearing screening into routine maternal health, pediatrics, and newborn care services. By strengthening capacity and referral pathways, the program is creating a sustainable, decentralized model for hearing care.

Advocacy: Guatemala

In Guatemala, our project partner Sonrisas que Escuchan (SQE) collaborates with the Ministry of Health to advance neonatal hearing screening in hospitals nationwide. By sharing data with policymakers and engaging government institutions, SQE is helping to develop a coordinated national approach for screening to ensure more children are connected to care early.
