On 14th August 2025, DeafKidz International held a Stakeholder Summit Event in Gauteng, Johannesburg, marking the completion of the latest DeafKidz Defenders rollout, generously funded by Safe Online.
The event brought together stakeholders, officials, teachers, and child protection professionals to explore the programme’s aims, impact, and next steps in protecting and empowering deaf children across South Africa. Through open discussion and shared learning, participants reflected on the importance of ensuring that deaf children have the knowledge, confidence, and support they need to stay safe both online and in their daily lives.
We are so grateful to everyone who joined us and contributed their expertise and passion to this important work. Together, we are building a safer future for deaf children.
