We believe wholeheartedly that the Deaf community and persons with hearing loss – through consistent support, love and patience – can feel truly empowered.

The National Institute for the Deaf (NID) is a registered Non-Profit Company (NPC) – established in 1881, we have been dedicated to the wellbeing of the Deaf community for well over a century. We care deeply for the Deaf and persons with hearing loss and are passionately driven to ensure that the Deaf get the same opportunities in life as anyone else. We do this by providing the best guidance, work partnerships, rehabilitation, spiritual and social development, as well as offering ongoing support to help them confidently reach their full potential. That is why our holistic approach has helped us change thousands of lives over the many years that we have been operational.
