Uganda had over 23 million internet users in 2025, with the fastest growth among 15–24 year-olds. But connectivity without literacy creates risk: young people accessing the internet without understanding phishing, privacy, misinformation, or safe online behaviour.
Our Digital Literacy Programme
Traverse Digital Literacy works directly with schools, SMEs, government agencies, and NGOs to deliver practical cyber safety education. Our programmes are curriculum-aligned, delivered by certified trainers, and adapted to the Ugandan context.
For schools, we offer a five-day intensive covering: online safety and privacy, recognising misinformation, safe social media use, password hygiene, and what to do when something goes wrong online.
For SMEs, our two-week programme covers: securing business communications, protecting customer data, basic incident response, and PDPA compliance essentials.
Impact So Far
In 2025, we trained over 2,400 learners across 18 institutions in Kampala, Wakiso, and Mbarara districts. 94% of participants reported increased confidence in recognising online threats after completing the programme.
