The national association of the deaf of Algeria is very active in Algeria, through its contacts and its demonstrations in favor of deaf people in Algeria. We plan to make a sign language dictionary on the web. Unfortunately, we don't have a budget to achieve our goals and we do a lot of advocacy with the authorities for help.
Our missions lie in the defense of the rights of deaf people in Algeria as well as the promotion of sign language, as recommended by the World Federation of the Deaf.
Our activities lie mainly in advocacy towards the Algerian public authorities so that they look into the problem of the marginalization of this segment of the population.
Our association has extensive experience in the field of advocacy and it has already had activities, thanks to your foundation, in collaboration with the Italian federation of the deaf with which we have carried out training in sign language, with conferences in Algiers and Rome. It was a thrilling experience. We are able to propose several projects in favor of the deaf in Mediterranean countries.
Our association wishes to join the network of the Anna LINDH foundation in order to have the opportunity to exchange experiences with networks in other affiliated countries and above all to develop an effective partnership that can generate convincing results in the everyone's interest.
