The Charity Foundation For Hearing Rehabilitation, using “BAKHSHESH” as its acronym, started its thorough work as a non-profit non-governmental organization (run by a board of trustees) in the second half of 2016 with the aim to aid needy candidates for cochlear implantation in order to transform them into healthy, fresh, and empowered individuals so that they can help the social and economic development of the country as valuable and effective man power and revive families facing this challenge observing their dignity. The goal of this organization is to return health, freshness, and the sense of being useful to its beloved patients not only for them to recover from the misery of deafness and dumbness but to turn them into effective, productive, and useful forces of the society.

This “Bonyad” aims at using the philanthropic assistance of helpful people, the support of caring managers, and the honest and noble efforts of its responsible volunteers to obtain significant results in
