Overview
The Ethiopian National Association of Deaf blind, ENADB, is a nonprofit national organization established by people with deaf blindness themselves. It was founded by six persons with deaf blindness and it was legally registered on 6 July 2006 at the Ministry of Justice. Our mission is to empower people with deaf blindness and their families for an independent life, and to facilitate and ensure their full inclusion and participation in the society, in particular by raising public awareness of their unique disability, promoting the use of alternative techniques of communication and promoting the improvement of services and facilities for persons who are deaf blind.
