Our Targets
The number of deaf people in Nepal is estimated to be around 200000 (two hundred thousand). Without basic education and skill, they cannot find any kind of work to support their life. They are compelled to live a miserable life with little support from their family. In many cases, they are neglected by their own family members. So the newly set up creative hand of deaf women aims at resolving this humanitarian issue. In order to address this problem, CHDW intends to mobilize internal as well as external support to address this problem.
At its initial stage, it targets to gather 5 to 10 deaf women aged between 16 and 35 years and provide them training in sewing, knitting, etc. It will gradually increase the number year by year.

EDUCATION
Nepali Sign Language
Sign language is very important to uplift the life of deaf people. In our country due to lack of education, people think that deaf people don’t need education. So firstly we have to change the peoples` thinking and tell them about the sign language.
Sign language needs a lot of practice. More practice mean more improvement which ultimately leads to manage and protect their rights. So learning and practice brings improvement in the level of sign language uses and then the integration in hearing world bring more dignified life.
Deaf people have improved sign language and also have increased its words stocks .A good movement is the direction. Now there are schools for deaf children in our country too.
Our main intention is to make a group of deaf women from remote area from weak families who are not yet aware of sign language. They need help and the aim of the project is to cover them. Creative hands of deaf women are intended to bring them into the world of sign language.
