Calling.

SpeakingFingers is a network of self-motivated citizens with committed passion, technical expertise, and leadership capacity for public enlightenment, policy advocacy, and increased investment in inclusive sustainable development.

Voices from Our Community

Real stories from the people whose lives have been touched by SpeakingFingers.

Learning to sign with my daughter has completely transformed our family. For the first time, she can tell me how she feels, what she dreams about. SpeakingFingers gave us our relationship back.

Before the LifeWorkReady program, I didn't believe I could get a job. Now I run my own business and I mentor other Deaf youth. SpeakingFingers believed in me first.
