Changing lives and communities through deaf education in rural West Africa.
We wholeheartedly believe in the transformative power of education and its capacity to change lives and communities.
Our Approach
Our goal is to reduce the barriers of education for deaf rural children in Benin so that they may be able to grow into healthy, faith-minded adults with great economic prospects. We believe in providing resources, education, and nurturing the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing community in West Africa.

Our success
stories
At Live Ear Ministries, we take pride in providing a culturally safe environment for our students to learn many life skills. Many of our students arrive to our school with no formal communication skills and leave prepared to succeed in life.
We've had numerous success stories where our specially trained teachers and staff have helped our children read, write, communicate, and learn life skills to be successful adults.
