Welcome to Destiny of a Child

Our site has been designed with one objective in mind: being clear, simple and informative. In addition to providing background information on cochlear implants, the site introduces other charities which we support and gives another view of our fundraising activities.
We are grateful to Nannies Incorporated for including us in their CSR program.

Testimonials

  • "I have been involved with many charity climbs over the years and have to say that Destiny of a Child’s was one of the most efficient, organised and dedicated charities that I have came across. Furthermore, I would add that Destiny of a Child was one of the most caring charities that I have encountered. I put this down to the fact that all committee members are devoted to the cause of disabled children and put their hearts into the project without compromise. It will be a pleasure to lead another climb for Destiny of a Child in January 2013." - Ake Lindstrom, Expedition Leader
  • "We have been very grateful for the support of Destiny of a Child in the past. Many thanks to Annie Martin and her team for their hard work and for their generosity in helping us to develop our facilities for deaf children and young people with cochlear implants since 2003. The Ear Foundation receives no government funding and thanks to the support from Destiny of a Child over the years we have been able to grow into the organisation we are today." - Sue Archbold, Chief Executive of the Ear Foundation
  • "We are immensely grateful for the support that Destiny of a Child has given us in the past and especially this year.
