According to the @WHO, 34 million children worldwide have disabling hearing loss. If children with hearing loss do not receive hearing healthcare and support early on, they often experience lower school performance, higher risk of dropping out of school, and less likelihood of accessing higher education. Ultimately, this can impact their lifelong career prospects. This problem is exacerbated in many parts of the world where children — especially girls — already face significant barriers to education. Hearing loss does not have to be a barrier to life’s opportunities. @MalalaFund and Cochlear Foundation have partnered to raise awareness about the barriers keeping millions of children and young people with hearing loss from accessing a quality education and early access to hearing healthcare and support. Follow Alana supports this call for equal access to education and early hearing healthcare. Share this video to show all children with hearing loss that they can achieve anything they set their minds to. @cochlear_global . . . . . #AchieveAnythingProgram #Malala #MalalaYousafzai #MalalaFund #Education #CochlearFoundation #Cochlear #HearingLoss
