Invest in strengthening systems, building capacities and innovative technology solutions to tackle online harms

We believe that the issues that young people face online do not stay online. They impact on our families, our schools, our communities, and the nation at large.
This is the reason we have in recent times experienced record levels of bullying in our schools, depression amongst young people, self-harm, anxiety, identity theft, exploitation and what we call online “gbas gbos” in Nigeria. And we all pay for these harms, it is not a case of the “polluter pays” principle, the consequences are borne by the whole of society and the emotional costs by young people.
This is why protecting children and young people is a shared responsibility and it is upon all relevant stakeholders to ensure a sustainable future for all.
For that to happen, parents, careers, educators, policy makers, industries, and other stakeholders, must ensure that children and young people can fulfill their potential both online and offline.

From campaigns and partnerships to supporting professionals and vulnerable young people, we are proud to serve the online safety and digital well-being needs of young people across Nigeria and beyond.

Our Vision

Our vision is a safer digital world that is free from all forms of abuse, exploitations and violence, one that prepares young people to thrive in the digital space.

Our Mission

Our mission is to improve digital safety for internet users, support parents, educators and young people in their digital wellbeing while promoting the positive and enriching use of digital technology.

The rights of every child must be respected, protected and fulfilled in the digital space

The widespread use of the Internet and new communication technologies has been a powerful engine for growth, learning and the creation of new jobs which has helped to improve the quality of life for many including young people as it provides them access to education, entertainment and skills for their future employability.

While the Internet is a great way to access quality content and services, it can also serve the purpose of ill-intentioned people.

Globally, there are more than 2.2 billion people under the age of 18 years, making young people the biggest vulnerable group in our societies. We know that it takes a village to keep a child safe both online and offline. Therefore, we count on all the stakeholders to prioritize young people and to collaborate and generate collective actions to prevent and address all forms of crime, violence, abuse, and exploitation of children online.
