St. Anthony’s School for the Deaf is a private school founded in 2008 by Rev. Fr. Anthony Ssenkaayi. The school provides education for children with hearing loss and serves as the only school for deaf children in the Mpigi district. The founder of the school recognized the immense lack of schools for children with hearing loss throughout Uganda and decided to take action. Life can be very difficult for a deaf child, especially when born in a developing country. Due to the high poverty rate, a deaf child is seen as a burden and often abandoned. Most deaf children are unloved by their families and often victims of violence. All this strife impacts the child’s development throughout adolescence with lasting consequences into adulthood. The main objective of St. Anthony’s School for the Deaf is to cater for the basic needs of deaf children. The school’s mission is to equip them with a formal education and with practical skills, which will make every single student a well-rounded citizen who can sustain himself within his society.
