The Gift of Sound Foundation is SANDA’s public awareness programme linked to World Hearing Day.
It drives a national hearing awareness campaign based on the recognition that hearing loss is a growing national crisis. Through public awareness and donation-driven support, the programme encourages individuals, schools, workplaces, and communities to appreciate, protect, and celebrate the gift of hearing while supporting broader awareness of hearing loss and communication access.
The programme’s rallying call is simple: “Hearing is precious. Appreciate the gift of sound.”
By supporting the Gift of Sound Foundation, members of the public help amplify awareness, promote early identification and understanding of hearing loss, and contribute to a more caring and communication-conscious society.
