DEAFKIDZ INTERNATIONAL

Our worldwide work is encompassed in four key themes:rights, learning & livelihoods, technology and wellbeing. Our programmes cross fertilise across these themes, making them unique, different and deaf child led. We work with the parents of deaf children;their brothers,sisters and extended families. We work with and support local partners; indigenous led agencies, schools or informal groups.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

The charity has received backing from several prominent grant makers recently
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and dynamic in terms of composition

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
There has been a change of accounting period recently, so trends may be hard to determine
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending

Established: 11 years

They are proposing to develop DeafKidz Defender, an interactive digital game concept that will empower Deaf children aged 7-11 to reduce their risk and vulnerability to abuse and exploitation. There is currently no dedicated digital safeguarding and protection provision specifically aimed at Deaf children of this age in the UK or worldwide.
Comic Relief - DeafKidz Goal!
£250,000	06/11/2018 36	Two out of every ten children in India are deaf. But they remain invisible and undiagnosed in the city slums, often thought to be slow or mentally ill. They are lonely and neglected. This project ....more Two out of every ten children in India are deaf. But they remain invisible and undiagnosed in the city slums, often thought to be slow or mentally ill. They are lonely and neglected. This project trains deaf coaches who will help identify deaf children. The children take part in a club twice a week where they learn sign language and other skills through football activities. They get help to enrol and attend school. The project links them to medical and counselling support and helps find foster homes if they are not safe. As a result, children can communicate better, become less isolated, gain confidence and are safer. They get an education and a chance for further training and jobs.
Comic Relief - Signing Safe Futures South Africa!
£247,528	16/03/2016 24	Deaf children in South Africa are particularly susceptible to abuse of all kinds; unable to communicate with the outside world, they cannot speak up against the ill-treatment they are suffering. The ....more Deaf children in South Africa are particularly susceptible to abuse of all kinds; unable to communicate with the outside world, they cannot speak up against the ill-treatment they are suffering. The project aims to empower deaf children so that they can stand up for themselves. At the same time, it will build the knowledge and capacities of organisations who offer helplines and support to children facing abuse so that they can extend their services to deaf children. The result will be that deaf children are more aware of abuse, better able to report what is happening to them, and better able to receive help.
