Internet use is revolving in so many ways and thus enabling different users especially children and youth, who connect mainly for online gaming, schoolwork assignment and social networking.

However, as these children use the internet, they face serious risks, such as online predatory, cyber bullying and consequences from revealing too much personal information.

A crucial part of keeping children safer online there is by teaching them about the online risks and how to make responsible decisions.

The Internet Society Uganda Chapter is working towards promoting Child Online Safety in Uganda. As such, the Chapter has developed an Online Safety Education Kit that will be used to sensitise and prevent online victimisation of young children and youth by teaching them how to stay safer online and offline.
