THE NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR THE DEAF (NID) - Worcester

The world of the Deaf is a silent world, confined to the limits of vision and therefore isolated as a result of communication barriers. Our main objective is to help the Deaf to help themselves. We strive to empower Deaf people to attain their full potential and take their rightful place as responsible citizens of South Africa. NID respects and supports the needs and concerns of South African Deaf communities through cross-disability efforts with consumer based and professional organisations representing and supporting the interest of various disability constituents and various disability desks in South Africa. The NID follows a holistic approach in education and training, health and spiritual care and offers a wide spectrum of services.
