USAID in Africa > Success Stories: Deaf Students Come to Life through Sign Language. With the help of USAID, Global Deaf Connection was able to send mentors to work and interact with deaf teachers and students at the Silent Cooperative Center for the Deaf. As a result of these interactions, we are creating unique opportunities for language development and communication that would not have occurred otherwise, while simultaneously providing teachers and students' new skills and tools to become better teachers and learners.

Miles, M. (2005). Deaf people living and communication in African histories, c. 960s - 1960s. There is strong documentary evidence that deaf or hearing impaired men and women, girls and boys, did occupy social space and took roles across the full spectrum of life throughout Africa in earlier centuries, living lives like everyone else and also having some different experiences. Traces and signs of deaf people appear in many sorts of historical document, such as travellers' accounts, legal and genealogical records, government, institutional and missionary archives, linguistic studies, literature, folklore, religious narrative, mime, dance and drama. Many of their experiences have involved severe economic poverty and adversity, stigmatising attitudes and exclusionary practices; yet this has not been the norm everywhere in Africa, and many deaf people have shown great resilience, perseverance, humour and ingenuity in their dealings and communications with the non-deaf world.
