Deaf Link Uganda signifies our desire to link deaf and hard of hearing people in Uganda, Africa and the rest of the world, bringing them together as a unified Deaf Community.
Central to our work is our commitment to strengthen links through developing networks with organisations of persons who are deaf, as well as the entire disability movement.
Our Logo
Shaped in a triangular form, our logo symbolises connections we make with people of the world:
At the top is a Deaf Child rising from a strong, nurturing foundation of love laid by parents, families and community members.
