The majority of deaf girls are born in poor families. The cost of living is too high for them, and they can hardly afford the basic necessities of life. DGR works to address this challenge amongst the deaf girls and their households through training and linking them to existing economic opportunities/resources.

Putting in place easy strategies to overcome it for deaf girls and their families goes a long way in enhancing their enjoyment of their rights.
