We Support DeafBlind Community to Reach Their Full Potential

What We Do

01.

— We Find & Fund

It generally takes 3x the amount of $$ to provide support to each DeafBlind individual. That’s why partners and volunteers are so critical  in making this mission a success!

02.

— We Build Networks

DeafBlind individuals are often severely isolated. DBRAZ offers them an opportunity to come out of their shells and find their true potential in this world.

03.

— We Empower

DBRAZ aims to empower each DeafBlind individual to make their autonomous decisions along with strengthening their confidence and skills.

04.

— We Educate

Trainings and spreading Awareness are some of the best way to educate and nourish the minds out there.

05.

— We Provide Care

DBRAZ fosters a loving and kind environment where each DeafBlind individual are not judged, but loved!

06.

— We Consult

DBRAZ is always available 24/7 for any inquiries whether it is related to the retreat or the DeafBlind community in general.

Journeys of Possibilities

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller
