Disability And Religion: Deaf Ministry and Technology

Abstract

Religion plays a big role in shaping the community, Deaf people identify with a different culture and language and for many people religion and worship is not a paramount part of their lives. In Kenya where the school systems are segregated students do not have access to proper religious teachings that are specific to their language need. At Catapult Studios we have identified this as a problem we would like to offer a solution to. We have developed an E learning platform for literacy and STEM skills and as an add on we have partnered with a church from Hawaii that documents the church service in sign language. The Deaf ministry has been a steady source of recording and inspiration for the students. The service is done in sign language. This is total inclusion and gives the students.
