Komak Charity Foundation is an independent charity organization that was established on February 2013 with registration# 185. The founder of Komak is Katayoun Riahi, a globally-recognized Iranian actress (for more info see here). Our mission at Komak is to assist children with hearing impairments with the costs of implants. We also provide support and information to patients, parents, and professionals.

Mission and Values

Our main objective at Komak is to help those families who cannot afford their children’s Cochlear Implant. Your donations would support such families to maintain their children’s personal health and safety.
For the implant to be most effective, it is necessary that the procedure takes place very early in life. Unfortunately many families do not have the necessary funds available for this life-altering procedure, as hearing aids can cost as much as $15,000. While hearing loss may lead to depression, social isolation, and communication difficulties, the implant cost is the major reason most patients opt out of the treatment or wait seven to 10 years before seeking one.

All kids, no matter where they live, are our children – they all deserve a fair opportunity in life.

Services
Komak’s organizational body includes sections that offer cultural, educational, healthcare, and legal services. In additional to financially supporting the patients who need hearing aids, Komak offers a wider range of programs, some of which are discussed below:
