Can you imagine a life without the ability to communicate?

This is the reality for many of the deaf in Cameroon, Africa. With few resources many deaf children never learn sign language or have the opportunity to go to a school for the deaf.

Unable to sign, read or write, they are locked in a life of poverty with no voice or sense of community, considered by many to be nothing but "throw aways"

It was to help these "throw-aways" in developing countries that caused Rev Michael Jarrett to found the ministry outreach, "Friends of the Deaf International ".

The goal of the ministry is to help the deaf learn to read, write, sign and develop a vocation, so they can lead productive lives. Our intention is to help open and or expand deaf schools in partnership with the local deaf leaders that are a model  of sustainability.


                           You can help change the destiny of deaf children
                                  by helping build a school in Cameroon!


We help the forgotten deaf in developing countries because ...
        - if we don't, many deaf kids will be trapped in a life of silence
        -  Jesus said what we do to the "least of these"  we do...to and for Him.
        - we have been created in Christ Jesus to do "good works"
        - God loves the forgotten, marginalized, poor because He loves all people
        - we want to invest ourselves in something that has eternal value
