Doing sign language can be a good way of empowering yourself.

Why?

Because it has become one of the most invaluable skills to have as more businesses and institutions accept that having someone capable of using sign language in Kenya can help them reach more people  as well as make them look caring in the eyes of the general public.

In fact, Persons with Disabilities Act(2003) requires that  public institutions such as schools, hospitals, courts, and all government offices engage sign language interpreters(to help speak with the deaf).

Learning Kenya Sign language is also a good way of keeping yourself busy if you’re a form 4 leaver waiting to go to College/University during this waiting time.

Which brings me to an important question: where to learn sign language in Kenya.

Now, below are some of the institutions where you can learn sign language in Kenya including public colleges offering sign language courses in Kenya.
