But why does sign language matter so much? It matters because language is identity. For the deaf community, Kenya sign language is more than communication ,it is culture, a belonging, and visibility. It matters because sign language tears down barriers allowing someone to buy food at the market, ask questions in class, or share an idea in a boardroom without fear of being excluded. And it matters because in a world that often sidelines minorities, sign language insists that inclusion is not charity, but a right. Across schools in Kenya, sign language is slowly being integrated into curriculum as part of modern language learning. Teachers are being trained, interpreters are being certified, and more public spaces are embracing the beauty of hands that speak. Workplaces too, are realizing that diversity is incomplete without the ability to communicate inclusively. A deaf employee is not disabled by silence but by a lack of understanding around them.
