This resource shares Martha’s experience of how the Global Resource Hub has equipped her with practical life skills that have strengthened her independence and resilience. Her story demonstrates how resourceful and impactful the Hub can be—not only for persons with deafblindness, but also for caregivers, professionals, and other community members seeking knowledge and support.

Transcript for Martha's video

Martha is sat down on chair and is wearing a t-shirt with cartoon characters drawn on it. She is facing the camera and signs the following:

My name is Mbeiza Martha. My sign name is that. I come from Jinja. I have learned skills, and got information from the Hub on Knitting, baking and hair dressing.

And also, communication for persons with deafblindness. I thank Sense International for the support of the hub.
