Al Noor is a key partner in Project Impacts eye care and hearing disability work. Established in 1989, the mission of the Foundation is to develop sight restoration and blindness prevention programs in Africa, the Middle East and Asia.
In addition to the funding it has already provided to Project Impacts hearing aid project, Al Noor will establish a hearing aid manufacturing site, provide training programs for hearing aid technicians (for dispensing), and establish cost-effective, self-sustaining service delivery sites for prescribing and fitting hearing aids.
Project Impact is working with Al Noor to set up hearing camps along the lines of the diagnostic screening camps that have been implemented for eye care. Al Noor is associated with a group of 15 eye and ear hospitals located throughout the Middle East, which will also distribute our hearing aid.
