Deafness in the Democratic Republic of the Congo information


The Democratic Republic of the Congo has a population of about 1.4 million deaf people[1] out of a total population of about 86.7 million.[2] The World Health Organization (WHO) claims that countries in Sub-Saharan Africa are one of the more greatly affected regions by hard-of-hearing complications, compared to the rest of the world.[3] Deaf people in the DRC are subject to neglect and discrimination by their families and the government, but they are also met with small, various ways of support and charity through international, European, Australian, and American religious, non-religious, and governmental organizations.[4]
