This site is intended to address the complexity of understanding what online safety issues are affecting different parts of Africa, how to keep yourself and young people safe online, how to teach online safety formally in schools and at home, funding opportunities for safety innovators, and how to get help if a crime or other violation has occurred.

The key objective of the project is to design a research sharing repository, which also serves as the information home for the African Online Safety Fund. The website looks beyond mere information sharing, to act additionally as a mechanism for fostering an ecosystem around African Online Safety - thus necessitating consideration around community-building.

The intention is to empower Africans with the knowledge and resources they need to understand the complexity of internet safety, navigate the digital world safely and seek restitution should they be a victim of cybercrime.
