Inspired by the reality of the need; Siloam: 256 was established in 2020 with a vision to have an impact on youth who are deaf and unemployed in Uganda. As an organisation based in the UK, we aspire to see the deaf individuals integrated into the hearing communities of Uganda.
Our story : Siloam:256 – Sent to Uganda
Siloam means sent and 256 is the area code for Uganda where we believe we have been sent to support young deaf people out of unemployment.
Our numbers have a meaning
2 deaf people out of unemployment every two months which is 12 people per annum to become entrepreneurs or employed.
5 awareness campaigns per year with support from the local communities and families our apprentices come from.
6 years to become sustainable?
Aims and goals
We are looking to work with individuals who are deaf with four aims. Our ultimate outcome is to see financially independent young people as the products of our organisation.
1. Equip apprentices through tailored vocational and entrepreneurial training in culinary arts.
2. Awareness of the apprentices’ skill set within their communities in order to support financial independence through long term employment in hearing environments.
3. Advocacy for change in perception of the apprentices’ abilities and skills through campaigns on social media, rallies and marches, fundraising activities all to reduce stigmatisation.
4. Expansion of services and reach of a wider group of people across the country to meet the needs of the communities in more rural areas.
