Who we are

Welcome

DESK was majorly established due to discrimination and prejudice against Deaf persons, in addition to the fact that there was no organisation or program specifically targeting the needs of those persons. DESK established itself with the goal of equally supporting deaf persons in Embu County and throughout Kenya to improve their standard of living. This support is in terms of human rights advocacy, education and training, political, social and economic empowerment.
