100 Signs by the End of September Challenge

Before we officially begin the challenge this Saturday, let's start with the foundation!

❤️🤍 Step 1: Learn the Zambian Sign Language (ZSL) alphabet (or the sign language alphabet used in your country).

Why? Because even if you don't know how to sign a particular word, you can always fingerspell it. A person fluent in sign language will understand what you're trying to communicate and can even teach you the correct sign.

Let's spend Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday learning the alphabet so we're ready to begin our 100 Signs Challenge this Saturday!
You can find the Zambian Sign Language Alphabet on Bloom Library: Bloom Library: Home https://share.google/qDR6FDsqNg03kEvs0 Download Bloom Reader and you will be able to download and access the resources offline.

One step at a time. One sign at a time. Together, we can build a more inclusive Zambia.

100 Signs by the End of September Challenge!🤍❤️

In honour of the International Week of the Deaf, observed during the last week of September, Mizu – Our Roots is inviting everyone to join our 100 Signs by the End of September Challenge!

This year's theme, "Declaring Deaf People's Human Rights," reminds us that human rights can only be fully enjoyed when communication is accessible to everyone.

Sign language is not universal. Just like spoken languages, every country has its own sign language. Learning the sign language used in your country helps create a more inclusive community where deaf people and individuals with communication disorders can participate fully in everyday life.
**And remember, sign language is not only for people who are deaf or have communication disorders. Anyone can learn it. When more teachers, healthcare workers, students, legal professionals, customer service providers, friends, neighbours, and family members know sign language, communication barriers are reduced. This helps deaf people access essential services such as education, healthcare, the justice system, employment, and other opportunities with greater independence and dignity. In this way, learning sign language becomes a practical way of supporting deaf people's human rights.

We also encourage you to explore and share Bloom Library, a free online collection of books that includes sign language resources and accessible learning materials for children. By sharing this resource, you can help more children with hearing impairments or communication disorders gain access to materials that support language development and learning.

Together, we can build communities where communication is not a barrier but a bridge. Every sign you learn is one more step towards a Zambia where everyone can participate, belong, and thrive. For people in Zambia, you can learn ZSL using resources from: Lubuto Library Partners, founded in Zambia, creates safe and welcoming libraries that give vulnerable children and young people access to books, learning opportunities, and a space to express themselves, especially those who are out of school: https://share.google/sW4KMtLgM8uzHuVAl and if you are not in Zambia, find out what sign language is used in your country and start learning today🤍❤️

🤝 Challenge yourself to learn at least 100 signs by the end of September, invite others to do the same, and help spread awareness. We will post 10 different signs every Saturday until the 26th of September to help encourage everyone to commit to the challenge. Like, share and follow for more updates ❤️🤍

What if the biggest impact of elections is on the children watching?
Through the Children's Manifesto, children across Zambia shared their priorities for the 2026 General Elections.

One message is clear: every child deserves to grow up feeling safe, supported, and emotionally secure. Children are calling on leaders, communities, and families to promote peaceful elections, protect children from fear, violence, and uncertainty, and create environments where they can thrive emotionally and mentally.
