Latar Belakang Pertubuhan
Origin
The Sarawak Society for the Deaf (SSD) was initiated by the Lions Club of Kuching Host in the 1980's. Since its inception, SSD has been functioning as a Charitable Organisation working with and for the Deaf community in Kuching in particular and Sarawak generally.
The activités carried out then during the early years following its formation were mainly with the young adults and preschoolers. The teenagers or young adults were mainly those who had no formal education and were taught Sign Language, arts & crafts, cookery and simple sewing. The pre-school programme went on successfully for many years until when the Government Education department started a similar programme.
The society was housed at various rented premises until it managed to acquire a piece of land from the State Government. The Society moved into its own three floored building on 16th June 2002, located at Lot 1862, Lorong Laksamana 8, off Jalan Laksamana Cheng Ho, 93200 Kuching, Sarawak.
Membership now stands more than 300 members, comprising of school children, young adults and working adults who regularly meet on weekends at the Society's premises.
