Deaf children living in low-resource settings are amongst the most vulnerable in the world. DeafKidz Defenders is a first-of-its-kind resource that teaches deaf children how to stay safe in person and online.

Developed with the generous support of Safe Online, its use of digital games and facilitated sessions in local sign language to teach safeguarding awareness and knowledge makes it suitable for all deaf and hearing children worldwide with low literacy levels.

DeafKidz Defenders is currently being delivered in schools but is appropriate for any structured learning setting worldwide. Online and offline versions are available. Currently, its user interface is available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, and soon to be in Urdu, Hindi and Arabic.

DeafKidz Defenders has received a fantastic response from the children, schools and parents who have used it so far: children are 7 times more likely to speak out, say no, and get help.
