Digital Skills & Online Safety 4 Nigerian Children

We would love to appreciate everyone and every organisation that has donated to our project. Thank you for your continued generosity towards ensuring young Nigerian children stay safe while online. With your support, the Digital Skills and Safety (DASP) project is still creating positive changes and impacting lives

In November 2021, another set of 66 students at Ansarudeen Nursery and Primary School, Ebute Metta, Lagos State, Nigeria were taught how to stay safe while navigating online platforms or websites, (this number adds to the initial 153 students that were earlier impacted in our first training drive), bringing the total number of students impacted at this school to 219 children.

Our group of learners this time, were the much younger group. The students learnt how to keep some information private and not share personal information on the internet, how to detect fake and real websites, and how to prevent system viruses. The students were also introduced to the importance of not sharing passwords with strangers, how to keep passwords secured and how to build great passwords.

We could not have achieved this without your donation, your donation helped the kids to identify how the internet works and their love for technology grew, we are grateful for this opportunity to increase awareness in young children.

We are still hoping to raise the remaining $43, 542 to positively impact more students. Please support and donate to our project and we would appreciate if you could share our project within your network, every little helps. Thank you for your support!

With gratitude,

First and foremost, thank you for your continued generosity. With your support, the Digital Skills and Safety (DAS) project is creating positive change every day in the lives of public-school students and building the foundation for a brighter future. Together with 63 other donors, we have raised $6,143 of $49,800 for this mission.

In July 2021, we introduced 153 public school students at Ansarudeen Primary School, Ebute-Metta, Lagos State, Nigeria to digital skills and online safety.

The students learnt how to identify information they should not share online, how to protect themselves from phishing and detect fake websites and what to do when they feel uncomfortable with a message from a stranger. The students were also introduced to digital electronics with our Arduino electronics kits. They learnt how digital electronics is the foundation for modern-day technology, how to build simple projects from scratch. They also received electronics kits for more practice.

Your donation helped us ignite a love for technology in these kids and we are very grateful for this.

The “Digital Access and Safety Project (DASP)", primarily targeted at public and low fee-paying schools, aims to increase awareness and knowledge on how to use the internet safely and safeguard their identity and address bullying and harassment online. It also introduces and explains to students how to filter/verify internet content and experiences while also enhancing their practical digital literacy levels.

We are hoping to raise $43, 657 more to upskill and equip a minimum of 500 students. Please consider a little more support. Also share this with more partners. Thank you so much for your invaluable support! 

With gratitude,
