    Baby Amari was born deaf. Now he hears and speaks

    Kenya has about 153,381 people who are deaf, according to the 2019 Kenya Population and Housing Census report. The report further shows that most deaf people (129,518) are in rural areas compared to urban areas (23,843).

    Each year, almost 3,000 children in Kenya are born deaf. If the screening is not done at birth, they will end up missing out on the currently available interventions for them, courtesy of technology.
