The Association for Children with Language, Speech and Hearing Impairments of Namibia (CLaSH) is based in Windhoek, Namibia's capital city. CLaSH was formed in 1989 as a self-help group for parents. It has since become a well-respected service provider, registered as a charitable organisation with the Ministry of Health and Social Services (WO 70).
CLaSH works to ensure that the children it represents can access the support they need.
The mission is:
- to facilitate development towards equal opportunities for children with language, speech and hearing impairments
- to ensure equal access to education, training and all other facilities
- to promote services to meet these children's special needs as early as possible
CLaSH believes in an integrated, interdisciplinary approach to service provision, seeking close cooperation with Government ministries, non-governmental organisations and private businesses.
