Deaf Empowerment Society of Kenya
DESK was established in late 2013 and became fully operational in 2015 with its Head-Office based in Embu County. DESK is the only Organization of its kind in Kenya and seeks to ensure equal opportunities in all walks of life for Deaf persons residing in Embu County and throughout in Kenya. 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 in Kenya to improve their standard of living. This support is in terms of human rights advocacy, education and training, political, social and economic empowerment. Our Vision
