We are DeafKidz International

We are a dedicated team advancing the protection and wellbeing of deaf children worldwide. We are deaf-founded, with staff spread across South Africa, Zambia and the UK.

The need for our work

There are 32 million deaf children worldwide, many of whom face stigma, social exclusion, and a severe lack of support. This not only impacts their opportunities but leaves them more open to abuse: globally deaf children are 3 times more likely to suffer abuse than hearing children.
