HIV Prevention

We believe that learning about HIV-AIDS is a necessity in today’s age and time. Since the Deaf community is among those who are least likely to receive life support resources, information, education and communication on this very important matter, DEF has taken on the responsibility of training Deaf persons and making them aware of AIDS, how HIV spreads and teaching them how to keep themselves safe from such infections.

Human Body Sytem Activities

Key benefits:

Creating a safe aware deaf community, this is currently at grave risk.
