SignHealth Uganda
In rural Uganda, children born with hearing impairments are typically considered a bad omen and face exclusion and discrimination. With the support of British charity Signal, SignHealth Uganda has been working hard to change local people’s perceptions of deafness and also to fund medical help and the provision of hearing aids and other tools to enhance the day-to-day experiences of those affected.
Daylin, our South Africa-based photographer, found his time with SignHealth’s energetic beneficiaries and staff tremendously uplifting. His visual narratives include documentation of how volunteers act out dramatisations to help combat stigma, and how teachers trained in working with hearing impaired children work in classrooms. As a significant value addition, Daylin also ran a training day on visual storytelling using basic digital cameras and mobile phones for the organisation’s staff.
