The Global Deafblindness Resource Hub has been created by Sense International. We are a leading global charity supporting people with deafblindness in eight countries worldwide.
Our experience
We have over 30 years of experience supporting people with deafblindness to realise their rights. Our work began in 1994 with the aim of sharing the knowledge and expertise of our parent organisation, Sense UK.
Since this time, we have set-up locally-registered organisations in India, Kenya, Peru, Romania, Tanzania and Uganda. We have also established programmes of work in partnership with national organisations in Bangladesh and Nepal.

Our work
We work to identify children with deafblindness as early as possible in life so that, with the right support, they are able to thrive. We also improve access to quality education and vocational training so that children and young people with deafblindness can become independent, establish a livelihood, and meet their full potential.
Our work takes a rights-based approach. We support people with deafblindness and their families to challenge stigma, discrimination and other barriers that exist within society so that their rights are recognised and realised – now and in the future.

The Global Deafblindness Resource Hub
The Global Deafblindness Resource Hub is an online platform that provides people with deafblindness (PwDB) and those who support them, with accessible information, content and resources.
The Hub is a key technology tool to help complement and strengthen the work we are doing across the eight countries we work in. The ultimate goal is that the Global Resource Hub is a digital space that enables people with deafblindness/ multi-sensory impairment to access information, resources and content the same way as people without disabilities and to learn about the world around them.
