Global Deaf Muslim is proud to acknowledge and recognize the wonderful efforts of a Deaf Muslim woman named Zara Husian for her efforts of setting up a deaf school called Lahore Speech & Language School at Lahore, Pakistan. Sister Zara and other staffs built the school with two goals in mind: literacy and education for Deaf Pakistanis. Global Deaf Muslim is about educating all Deaf Muslims in the world about Islam and empower them to learn about Islam. LSLS is doing the same thing but for Deaf Pakistanis.
LSLS is located at a lovely building that is designed for children in mind with playground, activities, and room layouts. LSLS serves Deaf Pakistanis from toddlers to adults, helping them to learn language, communication, and interaction. LSLS also provides Islamic education to Deaf Pakistanis, teaching them the pillars of Islam and how to lead a life of Muslim. LSLS is not a school but a social service to help Deaf Pakistanis to be part of Pakistani society through communication. According to Sister Zara, Pakistan does not provide an adequate accessibility for Deaf Pakistanis in education.
Please pay a visit at LSLS website and provide a support through donations.
You can email LSLS talk@lsls.edu.pk to find out how you can support LSLS. They are in need of funds to pay rent, to expand services, to provide free education for poor Deaf Pakistanis, and to finance operating expenses. Sister Zara and her husband are supporters of Global Deaf Muslim and we appreciate their support as we support their efforts as well.
