Transforming LivesAcross Rwanda
See how HHR's interventions are making a real difference in the lives of children, families, and communities throughout Rwanda.
Uncovering Hidden Needs
The screening results revealed that a significant number of learners had unaddressed ear and hearing issues—conditions that many parents and students were previously unaware of.
Students received timely treatment from qualified doctors and nurses
Follow-up care was conducted in collaboration with nurses, school leadership, teachers and families
Children with chronic or serious hearing problems were identified early enough to prevent further deterioration
Voices from the Community
The initiative attracted strong support and appreciation from the community
"We are deeply grateful. Many of our children had long-standing ear problems that had gone unnoticed. Now they are receiving the care they need."
"This program has helped us better understand our students' learning challenges related to hearing. We can now support them more effectively."
"HHR's approach, impact, and collaboration with schools has been exemplary. This is exactly what our communities need."
Official Support and Recognition
District officials, including the Director of Education, the Sector Executive Secretary, and the Sector Education Inspector, visited the screening activities and praised HHR's approach, impact, and collaboration with schools.
Their support reinforces the importance of integrating ear and hearing health into school health programs and highlights the positive influence of HHR's intervention.
