Welcome to Life House Deaf School & Orphanage!
It has been said "To not be able to hear is a nuisance, to not be able to communicate... a tragedy".
Can you imagine a life without the ability to communicate? This is the reality for many of the deaf in Cameroon, Africa where there are few resources for the deaf. Many never learn sign language or have the oppurtunity to go to school. Unable to sign, read or write, they are locked in a life of poverty with no voice or sense of community, considered by many to be nothing but "throw aways"
It was to help these "throw aways" that caused Andre Bikund and his wife to found Lifehouse Deaf School and Orphanage in 2004. Being deaf themselves, they know first hand the difficulties faced in Cameroon and wanted to give oppurtunity for deaf children to learn sign languge, to read, write, learn a vocation and become part of a community where they are loved and appreciated.
LifeHouse is helping change the destiny of over two dozen children by giving them the ability to communicate, welcoming them into a loving community and giving them hope for the future.
