Maison des Sourds (ma13)

In 2009 we realised the Maison des Sourds (House of the Deaf). This project offers education in alphabethisation and sign-language for 60 deaf youngsters. Aside this, employment for deaf is created, like a sewing atelier, hairdressing, library, an office for organisations for deaf people, a carpenter’s- and a furniture studio, art studio, a bakery and space to expose and sell products. A kitchen and toilets are available: thus visitors can have a cup of tea.

An outside mosque has been constructed, for deaf people who can see their deaf imam (sign-language) and thus will be able to practise their prayers.
