Earlier this month we relaunched the Global Deafblindness Resource Hub as Insight. As the platform fast becomes a global centre of information, learning, and innovation, we wanted a name to reflect that broader purpose, representing understanding, discovery, and informed action. The name Insight represents understanding, discovery and informed action—helping people gain the knowledge, confidence and practical skills to improve the lives of children and adults with deafblindness.

If your organisation is passionate about disability inclusion, education, health or international development, join our growing network. By sharing expertise, developing new resources and collaborating across sectors, we can create greater impact than any of us could achieve alone.

Rishi's parents didn't have the help they needed to understand his complex needs. With very low hearing and speech difficulties, Rishi was isolated from the world around him, leading to behavioural issues and distress.

With little education on disability and how to support Rishi, his parents put their hope in a miracle - until the Deafblind Association Nepal stepped in and helped to enrol Rishi in Home Based Education which would teach him basic skills, stabilise his behaviours, and build his confidence and independence.

Rishi's progress has been profound; he now greets others with a smile, is building on his academic progress at school each day, and most importantly, his parents are fully engaged in his journey and understand the care he needs.

With the right support, every person can have the chance to thrive. Help us to open up opportunities for people with deafblindess and their families around the world.

When nine year old Nasser first met , he was learning from home. He struggled with communication and was isolated from other children.
Sense International Uganda taught Nasser's parents how to help him learn practical skills at home so that he would be ready for school.
Now in a classroom alongside friends, Nasser is building confidence every day, enjoys taking part in school activities, and loves to learn.
"I am proud of the small changes I see every day," his mother says. "Each step gives us hope."

For many years, Suravi's family thought she would never be independent. Born in Bangladesh with vision, hearing, and mobility impairments, she was entirely dependent on her mother.

Sense International's partners in Bangladesh, the Centre for Disability in Development, helped to provide Suravi with rehabilitation support, providing glasses to improve her vision and helping her to develop communication, mobility, and daily living skills. With their support, Suravi was able to attend a special education school and complete her studies.

These days, Suravi is remarkably independent, able to feed herself, move around, and assist her parents with housework. With support through vocational training, seed funding, and a sewing machine provided by Sense International, she now runs a small home-based business tailoring clothes.

"I believed I could never do anything on my own. Now I can work, contribute to my family, and dream about my future,"" says Suravi.
