Internet and Internet Safety is another area of work for the Halley Movement. Because the internet is taking over all mode of communication, everyone has to be computer literate. However, this is not the case in most African countries.
With the help of Internet Child Safety Foundation (ICSF) and other partners, the objectives are being met. Halley Movement and ICSF conduct regular capacity building workshops for local population on internet issues such as web browsing and email.
While the current trend for most families is to possess personal computer, internet users are more at risk with online dangers. Chat, emails and the internet in itself are dangerous tools that we use in everyday life. Since most families are unaware of such problems they may face, ICSF has started a safe surfing campaign in the country and has now extended to other countries as well.
The overall objective of 'Safe Surfing Campaign' is to promote safe internet use by everybody and be prudent online. Colleges, executives, kids and family are all being briefed on safety rules while being online. Posters, bookmarks, and leaflets are all used to educate internet users to take precaution online.
