Goals

Problem statement:

I am an interpreter of the Deaf Union and I translate a variety of topics. We support about 90 deaf individuals and work towards their social integration. So far, we have found jobs for 30 beneficiaries.

The problem is that our beneficiaries are dependent on the internet as their main source of news and information, since they are only able to receive visual information. They communicate with each other via text messages. However, our center does not have nearly enough computers for everyone to use.

Proposed Solution:

Due to the computer shortage, Our wish is to have one laptop that will be freely accessible for every member of the Deaf Union. We know the real importance of communication and believe that having a laptop will support our integration with each other and society at large.

This initiative will benefit all the members. They will be able to get in touch with their friends and relatives in Georgia and abroad by using Skype, Viber, Sign Language, etc. These simple actions have a very positive meaning for them.

Sustainability:

The item will be retained by this organization because it is unlikely that our numbers will significantly reduce. Hopefully, it will help our members communicate for years to come.

Equal gender opportunity:

As for the sustainability of our project, after reading this proposal you will understand that our idea of having one laptop is highly important for each member of the Deaf Union, men and women alike.
