About this project
The war in Ukraine has been ongoing for over two years and an estimated 3.7 million people have been internally displaced, with many lacking access to essential services, such as hearing health care.
As part of a special aid project to support Ukraine, Hear the World Foundation donated 1,000 hearing aids for children and adults. In partnership with a local distributor network, we were able to streamline the distribution of these hearing aids to eleven locations in central and western Ukraine, ranging from clinics to children’s hospitals. Since the start of our initiative in the fall of 2023, 729 hearing aids have been fitted for children and adults affected by the war.
Every person given hearing aids as part of this initiative has a special and complex story. We, at Hear the World, are grateful to be part of each one and would like to thank the volunteer team at Sonova for helping us make this donation possible.
