Nekemte School for the Deaf is a Christian community-based rehabilitation programme for children with a range of disabilities.
Former mission partner Jenny Merrit was one of the first teachers at the school and she continues to support it by providing teaching materials and organising visits from specialist teams. Alongside supporting deaf children, they work with young people with various disabilities, helping them access healthcare and education. The school has an ongoing role in promoting education for the deaf throughout Ethiopia, since without communication skills deaf people cannot find employment.
Jenny Merritt writes, ‘We pray for the faithful donors who provide the funds for the work to continue and for the prayer supporters who have stayed with us through the joys as well as the difficulties. We are seeking the means to extend the school buildings so that it can teach further subjects. It is a blessing that several people willingly visit from overseas to share in the life of the school and rehabilitation programme.’
