About us
A society where no person is left behind
Fatima Hearing Foundation works for children and young people affected by hearing loss — through awareness, early care, psychosocial support, education and inclusion.
Our vision
A society where no person is left behind.
Our mission
To work towards an inclusive society where children, youth, women, men, and migrants/refugees prone to or living with hearing loss are holistically empowered with primary ear care, assistive interventions, and social support to contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Every story counts.
