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 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.
