Digital Skills and Online Safety for Nigerian Children (DASP)

Challenge

School children are exposed to the internet from a young age and access to smart devices is becoming easier and more affordable. These have created serious safety concerns for parents, educators, public health officials, and the media over the past decade. A study in Nigeria has found that while nine out of 10 teenagers have access to the internet and three out of four have made friends with strangers online, there remains a very low level of digital literacy and awareness of online safety.

Solution

Your contribution to our “Digital access and safety Project” aims to increase awareness and knowledge on how to be safe online (safeguarding identity and addressing bullying or harassment online). It will also improve how to filter/verify internet contents and experiences that these technologies expose children to, and also aims to increase the general digital literacy levels by enhancing practical digital skills.
