Help Us Raise a Hearing Clinic

Hearing the Call – Zambia

According to the World Health Organization, over 40 million people in Africa live with disabling hearing loss — and nearly 60% are between the ages of 15 and 59. Since 2014, Hearing the Call has worked to bring essential hearing healthcare to Zambia, where access remains scarce and the need is profound.

Our recent partnerships with the Ministry of Health and Village of Hope have opened the door to establish a dedicated hearing healthcare clinic serving rural communities — a place to both treat patients and train the next generation of providers.

With only one audiologist in all of Zambia, the need to educate and sustain local hearing healthcare workers is enormous. Your support helps us develop sustainable access and create lasting change where it’s needed most.

Join us in connecting people to possibilities. Your gift today brings us closer to lasting impact.

Sylvia met the Hearing the Call team in 2016 when she was just 6 years old. At the time, she couldn’t hear or speak.
After being fitted with hearing aids, she spoke for the first time, saying ‘mama.’ She is now attending school at the Village of Hope.
The team is continually inspired by her progress each year during their visits.
