5.0 Expected Deliverables
We look forward to sharing the success in working closely with all interested parties in finding
ways to recruit, train and employ highly qualified sign language interpretation professionals.
While the shortage of interpreters is a reality we have found a successful formula to help provide
the avenue for training and develop the curriculum to foster the development of additional sign
language interpreters for the future. These new interpreters are vital to servicing the growing
needs within the deaf community. On behalf of the Deaf community in Kenya, I welcome you to
engage with us and make this training program a reality for the people of Kenya.
