The Ephphatha School for the Deaf is the first school established in Burundi for deaf children. The children learn to communicate through sign language and have access to the gospel, perhaps for the first time. Most of the deaf children live residentially at the school and return to their families during school breaks. After middle school, each student must pass an exam to continue into the higher grades or they can choose to take a two year course to learn sewing as a way to make a living.
