01
Digital Security
Across Kenya and Nigeria, we are supporting marginalized communities and groups, including persons with disabilities and senior citizens to get involved in the digital revolution. We do this through our DIGnified and ICT4Democracy programs through which we have empowered over 140 men, women and young people (and counting) to become digital citizens
02
Online Etiquette
As good as the internet is, it can be an enabler for threats and issues like cyberbullying, identity theft, revenge porn and so on to its users
With our online etiquette programs, we are changing the narratives by educating young people across universities to see and approach the internet differently in a way and manner that builds and supports rather than abuse and tear down. We do this through education and user awareness campaigns around privacy, internet best practices, data protection, digital security, online identity, and so on In addition, we are building a pan-African awareness platform that takes user awareness of online issues to multiple African countries

Internet Freedom
We are one of the leading internet freedom voices and advocates on the continent.
