Who is EARS?

EARS Incorporated is an Australian-based Christian organisation established to support hearing clinics and training centres in developing countries, with approved projects co-ordinated by Donna Carkeet in Papua New Guinea and Peter & Rebecca Bartlett in Malawi (Africa).

Why donate?

Most developing countries do not have any permanent audiology services or audiology training centres. Those with serious hearing loss are disadvantaged and often impoverished. Donna Carkeet's successful five year EARS Inc. project in the Dominican Republic has ensured this country of 9 million people now has locally trained health staff to provide a full range of hearing services, where there was none before.  Donna now works in Fiji and Papua New Guinea. Peter and Rebecca Bartlett oversee the ABC Hearing Clinic in the African nation of Malawi which has a population of over 14 million. Dr Jenna Vallario from the US lives in Malawi with her husband and one year old son. She lectures in the Audiology department that runs a degree program. Lawrence and Charmaine Hill om the UK  lives in Malawi. Lawrence lectures and is the clinical manager at the hearing clinic. Charmaine Hill is the business manager of the hearing clinic.  People with hearing loss are having their lives changed for good as a result of these services reaching across these countries.

Where will your money go?

Funds are urgently needed at the moment to subsidize the salaries of audiologists at the ABC Hearing clinic. Funding is also needed to support two unpaid expat families living in Malawi.

Papua New Guinea has also seen a significant impact from coronavirus.
