My organisation

DeafTawk is a social enterprise dedicated to bridging communication gaps for the deaf community. Founded and managed by persons with disabilities, the organization provides digital sign language interpretation services through a mobile application, connecting deaf individuals with interpreters in real time. This ensures access to essential services like education, healthcare, and employment. Recognizing the challenges faced by the deaf community, DeafTawk is now developing AI-powered tools to translate text and voice into sign language in real time. These solutions aim to make digital platforms, websites, and voice-enabled devices more inclusive and accessible. Beyond technology, DeafTawk is committed to empowering the deaf community by advocating for their rights and creating awareness about inclusivity. Through innovation and collaboration, DeafTawk strives to create a world where the deaf community is fully included and empowered to thrive.
