Adequate data on deaf people, including deaf girls is almost non-existent. One may assume that deep at the grassroots levels the community leaders (Local Council I chairpersons) have data on the deaf people/girls in their community. It is surprising to note that majority are ignorant of their existence within communities of their jurisdiction. Other alternative way of mobilizing them could be use of community radios which DGR has also utilized. Surprisingly not even one family of the deaf will heed to the information because of stigma. So the most effective method is moving from one home to another looking for the deaf girls and that is what DGR is currently doing. However, it is so tiring and expensive in terms of resources like money and time.

Staff and board of trustees of deaf girls rescue shortly after developing a 5 year strategic plan.
