Some injuries heal. Deafness lasts forever. Help us bring sign language and hearing aids to deaf child refugees.


Some injuries heal. Deafness lasts forever.

Donate today to provide hearing aids, sign language and audiological care to deaf refugee children.

You made this possible once before...

Throughout 2016 and 2017, a generous community of supporters provided the funds we needed to launch the world's first Deaf-led humanitarian aid mission serving the deaf refugee children of Syria and Palestine. With your support, we screened 170 children, distributed 117 hearing aids and counseled 255 parents. We provided life changing care, transforming children's deafness from a disability to an identity. We served and empowered, creating a population of strong Deaf children. 


Let's do it again.

We were met with overwhelming need. There are hundreds of deaf children still in need, waiting for us in the refugee camps of Lebanon and Jordan. The Deaf Planet Soul team is ready to head back but we need 7x the number of hearing aids and sign language resources.

During our initial mission in March 2017, we began running out of hearing aids on Day #2. We're determined to return to the Middle East, armed with 700 hearing aids and just as many sign language coloring books and flashcards. 



Let's get to work.

Without intervention, these kids face extreme delays in academic achievement, social/emotional health and language development. Help us make a difference before deafness becomes disabling. Help us reach the kids the rest of the world has left behind.
