    Project
    Today, there are more than 360 million deaf and hard-of-hearing people in the world. In most cases, they live without adequate conditions and infrastructure. Few people are interested in the problems of deaf and hard-of-hearing people in their own country. And what can we say about opportunities for such people abroad? They are virtually non-existent.

    There is no sign language in Ukraine. Children and their parents learn independently from a few books. In fact, it is a fictional language that exists within a limited circle of people in the country. In state schools, deaf children are not communicated with because teachers do not know how. No budget funds are allocated to this problem. This is the case in almost every country in the world. Children cannot get secondary or higher education in another country because they have to meet the admission requirements, which include knowing the sign language of another country.

    In addition to the problem of the small number of secondary schools for deaf and hard-of-hearing children, the same problem exists in higher education. For example, in the United States, there are five such universities—only five in the entire country. The main challenge is for people to speak the sign language of another country and have an international perspective so that this field is recognized and developed at the international level. This emerging market has not arisen because of demand or a lack of sign language, but because of a lack of supply. There are no international secondary schools or universities for children with hearing impairments and deaf people because there is no way to communicate in the same language as foreign students.

    Solving such global problems can open doors for millions of people. We must remember that this is not just about caring for people within society. It is about understanding ourselves and others, and changing tomorrow. Let's look at the people with special needs who surround us and have made a huge contribution to our world.
