Among the global landscape of Disaster-Response NGOs in place, OTG is the only organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid for Deaf, Hard-of-Hearing, DeafBlind, and DeafDisabled (DHHDBDD) individuals worldwide. OTG empowers DHHDBDD Communities around the world by deploying Deaf-led initiatives to deliver humanitarian aid amidst disasters and war.
Alarming humanitarian needs are rapidly escalating in scale and severity for people with disabilities caught in the crossfire. Furthermore, in the many corners of the world we serve, many Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people have absolutely zero legal protections as they are considered sub-humans due to their disabilities, which greatly increase the chances of this population being subjected to incomprehensible violence.
**More than 1.5 Billion people are affected by hearing loss.**
