Our Origins

A Journey Born From Love

The origins of Hear His Voice Uganda (HHVU) can be traced back to a deeply personal journey experienced by the Mukaaya family. It all began when Elaine Asaba’awebwa, the daughter of Mr and Mrs. Mukaaya, faced hearing impairment due to complications at birth and excessive medication. In search of specialized treatment for their daughter, the family traveled to the United States of America.

During their time in the USA, Elaine underwent numerous tests and procedures. The turning point came when the first implant was switched on, enabling her to hear. By 2012, a second implant had been successfully installed and was functioning well. This transformative experience deeply impacted Mr. Eddie Mukaaya.

Inspired by the progress and transformation his daughter had undergone, Mr. Eddie Mukaaya decided to return to Uganda with a mission. He was driven by a desire to raise awareness about children with hearing loss, hearing impairment, and deafness. Moreover, he aimed to offer support and assistance to parents and families who were going through similar challenges.

Thus, from this personal journey, Hear His Voice Uganda (HHVU) was born. It emerged as a platform dedicated to spreading awareness, providing resources, and advocating for children with hearing difficulties and their families. The organization aims to bridge the gap in understanding, promote early intervention, and empower individuals to embrace and support children with hearing impairments in Uganda.

Our Journey

The Early Days

Our journey began in August 2016 with the purpose of mobilizing and supporting families, parents, and caregivers of hearing-impaired children. We recognized the importance of utilizing hearing technology, such as hearing aids and Cochlear implants, to enhance the lives of these children. This initial endeavor led to the establishment of a strong Parents group, which has since become the driving force behind our family support and advocacy programs at Hear His Voice Uganda.

The dedicated parents group convenes monthly, providing fellowship, family support, and training in areas related to hearing loss. Families receive guidance and knowledge to navigate the challenges associated with hearing impairments.
