Philanthropy
Significant donations from supporters like you are vital to creating lasting change for children and adults with deafblindness.
At Sense International, we build long-term partnerships with philanthropists who share our vision of a world in which all people with deafblindness can be equal and active members of society.
We believe that transformational giving deserves a meaningful partnership. That’s why we are committed to providing tailored engagement and personal insight into the impact of your philanthropy, connecting you directly to our work and the change you are helping to create.
Ways to get involved
There are a variety of ways that you can get involved and transform the lives of some of the world’s most marginalised people.

Testimony from a major donor supporting our work in Tanzania through philanthropy:
“Seeing the plight of parents—but also the strength they draw from one another to build better opportunities for their children—is admirable. Many said that without the support and guidance of Sense International, they would have contemplated taking their own lives.
It is inspiring to see how local government in Temeke is now aspiring to take on therapists and screening nurses to continue the services long-term. With this model, I can see how we can showcase the quality and expertise of the work to other districts and, with ambition and wider funding, influence the government to scale this nationally in the future.
I am truly inspired by this visit and the importance of continuing this embedding and scaling phase over the coming years—to transform early intervention services and the lives of children with deafblindness.”
