WHY WE DO THIS

Digital literacy is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity. Yet, many young students across Africa, particularly in underserved communities, lack access to basic digital education and cyber safety knowledge. Without these skills, students are not only left behind in the digital economy but are also vulnerable online. CyberBridge Africa seeks to change this by reaching secondary school students with hands-on, foundational training in digital skills and cybersecurity awareness—while also inspiring long-term interest in tech careers.
