Core Activities:
The Kananelo Centre for the Deaf strives to be a self-sustaining facility, which provides quality education and living standards for students with special needs. This is achieved by providing students with academic, social, emotional, spiritual opportunities as well as active participation of the Ha Buasono community.
The centre provides 55 deaf children between the ages of 5-18 years with primary education and vocational training in a boarding school setting in which the national curriculum is taught in sign language.
