Latin Deaf Services, Inc (LDSI) is a 501c3 non-profit organization, incorporated in the state of Florida in 2010. Our name reflects much about our purpose to help the Deaf of the Americas access language, education, and gainful employment.
Our main focus is reaching the Deaf in developing nations for one very simple reason: The Deaf are the number one unreached population in the world. We have a Central America Operations office in San Cristobal, Guatemala. This office serves as our headquarters and is staffed with 3 employees who work faithfully to serve the Deaf in Spanish-speaking countries.
Why We Chose Guatemala
Guatemala was the obvious choice to start because they have the highest instance of deafness per capita in the western hemisphere. The leading cause of congenital deafness in Guatemala is malnutrition.
