Change the lives of the world's most vulnerable.

 James lives in Fiji, sharing his island with luxury resorts, but his life has been far from a tropical paradise. His family's poverty is as severe as anywhere on Earth, so they could do nothing for their little boy when he developed a raging fever. It completely destroyed his sense of hearing.
Deafness is the invisible disability. James looks like any other boy, but finds it so much harder to learn and communicate, or stay safe from dangers like traffic.
James was falling far behind at school when he was discovered by our partners from Project Heaven (which stands for HEAring and Vision Enhancement). We were able to give him a hearing aid. "Awesome" is how he describes being able to hear again. Now he can walk to school without fear of being knocked down. Now he can hear his teacher's lessons.
James and his family will never forget the generosity that has opened this little boy's ears, through cbm and Project Heaven.
