Naisho Hearing and Speech is a registered non-religious, non-political community-based organization founded in July 2019. This organization was established to address the needs of people living with disabilities, particularly children and women from the pastoralist communities who believe that disability is a curse or a bad omen from gods. Because of this beliefs and attitude towards disability, disabled people experience neglect, denial of access to basic human rights and are hidden in very pathetic dark houses.
Naisho Vision Statement
To have a fully-fledged center where all basic requirements pertaining to hearing can be accessed such as ENT screening, speech & physio therapy and related services all under one roof.
Naisho Mission Statement
To ensure that children and women living with hearing disabilities and associated health conditions can access medication, education and improved economic status.
Naisho Values
- Non-Discrimination: Naisho believes in equal opportunity, treatment and dignity for all despite disability. Disability should never be a basis for discrimination.
- Disability is NOT inability: Disabled persons have different talents and capacities. A disabled person can do what a non-disabled person can do provided the necessary support and services have been given.
- Partnership: Naisho is committed to establishing working relationships with communities, Government, civil society organization, private sector and well-wishers in addressing challenges affecting people living with disabilities.
- Sustainability: Naisho considers sustainability a key aspect in its strategic interventions. Sustainability in programs entails empowering the care givers with the necessary knowledge and capacity to enable them offer the required support to the persons living with disabilities. However, in situations where the environment is not conducive and there is no reliable care givers, we take the cases to disability center.
- Transparency and accountability: Naisho is committed to at all times to be transparent and accountable to its stakeholders. This entails accountability of all efforts channeled to this organization for purposes of supporting its interventions.
