History & Development
Mission: To lower hearing loss and its burden through the use of innovative appropriate technologies.
We wish to get children before the age of 3 a hearing aid which will give them the ability to hear and therefore the opportunity to communicate. These children will then be able to go to a public school, as there are few schools for the deaf, especially in developing countries.
We train, hire and employee people with disability as we know that people with a disability are people with a disability and not a disabled person. We look at the whole person and give them the opportunity through work to demonstrate their personal abilities.
Through a Brazilian Foundation, Instituto CEFAC plus a social marketing organization Legar, plus several University stakeholders and in conjunction with the youths who are deaf, from an NGO in Africa, Solar Ear Brazil, manufactures, assembles and distributes, the first digital rechargeable hearing aid, a new solar battery charger and rechargeable hearing aid batteries which costs the same as disposible zinc air batteries, but lasts 2 to 3 years.
