WELCOME TO DEAF GIRLS RESCUE (DGR)
Deaf Girls Rescue (DGR) is a registered Community Based Organization (CBO) for Deaf girls in Wakiso district in Uganda. It targets deaf girls aged 18 years and below and closely works with their households.
The organization was founded in 2015 by Ms. Rehema Namarome who has a hearing loss, after witnessing rampant rights violations against deaf girls at the grassroots and with hardly any support to redress the violations.
OUR VISION
A society where deaf girls are free from abuse.
OUR MISSION
To advocate for key societal changes that will eliminate rights abuse against deaf girls by building coalitions, provision of public education, direct support to survivors, and promotion of research and policy advocacy.
WHERE WE WORK
We are currently working in Wakiso district with plans to gradually extend to other districts of Uganda.
