Founded by Samuel James, SEAMS Deaf Pro Foundation is a pioneer in empowering deaf and disabled artists across Africa. Through the All Africa PWD Arts Festival* and innovative arts programs, we’ve created platforms for over 250 artists from Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Togo, Niger, Ivory Coast and beyond to showcase their talents since 2022.
Seams Deaf-Pro Foundation empowers Deaf creatives by providing professional training, public performance platforms and interpreting services that elevate Deaf voices, dismantle stigma and expand inclusive access to arts and cultural industries.
Volunteering with SEAMS DEAF-PRO Foundation is a great way to give back to the community and support the organization’s mission of improving the lives of deaf individuals.
Creating platforms for Deaf artists to showcase their talents and gifts is another crucial way to create fair and equal artistic opportunities for them.
To bridge the communication gap among deaf people, it’s important to use visual communication methods such as sign language, gestures.
The SEAMS Deaf-Pro Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals discover and develop.
