Digital Skills & Online Safety 4 Nigerian Children

Dear TechQuest Partner,

We sincerely thank you for your steadfast support in advancing digital literacy among children. Your generous contributions to the Digital Skills and Online Safety for Nigerian Children project are creating real and lasting change in the lives of public school students, laying the foundation for a brighter and more empowered future.

Thanks to your support and that of 70 other donors, we have raised $6,400 toward our goal of $49,800, with $43,400 still needed to reach our target.

We’re proud to share that our program has successfully reached over 840 students, teaching them fundamental digital skills such as starting and shutting down a computer, using a mouse and keyboard, navigating software, and saving their work. Your contributions have enabled us to equip these young learners with essential digital competencies that will serve them throughout their academic and personal lives.

Beyond basic literacy, your support has inspired a new wave of interest in STEM among these students, encouraging creativity, curiosity, and hands-on exploration of technology.

The Digital Skills and Online Safety Project specifically targets students in public and low-fee-paying schools, with a focus on:

• Enhancing digital literacy,

• Promoting safe and responsible internet use,

• Teaching students how to protect their identities,

• Addressing cyberbullying and online harassment,

• Empowering students to evaluate and verify online content.

As we continue to expand this life-changing initiative, our next goal is to reach at least 1,000 more students. To achieve this, we aim to raise an additional $43,400. We invite you to deepen your impact by contributing again and helping us spread the word to potential partners who share our vision.

Your partnership is critical, and we are profoundly grateful for the difference you are making in the lives of Nigerian children.

With sincere appreciation,

Dear Valued Partners and Donors,

We are deeply thankful for your unwavering commitment to empowering children with digital literacy skills through the Digital Skills and Safety (DASP) initiative. Your generosity has been instrumental in transforming the lives of public-school students, equipping them with the essential skills required to excel in today's digital landscape.

To date, we have received contributions from 70 compassionate supporters, totaling $15,218 towards our goal of $49,800. While we still require $34,582 to reach our target, we remain optimistic and determined to achieve this milestone.

The DASP initiative has already made a profound impact, empowering over 480 students from public and low-fee-paying schools with fundamental computer literacy skills. These skills include:

- Computer operation and navigation

- Microsoft Word and essential software proficiency

- Safe internet practices and online security

- Effective information searching, analysis, and evaluation

By fostering these skills, we are providing students with the tools necessary for personal, academic, and professional growth in an increasingly technology-driven world.

The Digital Access and Safety Project (DASP) prioritizes:

- Raising awareness about safe internet usage and online threats

- Enhancing critical thinking and effective online content evaluation

- Inspiring students to pursue STEM pathways and develop practical skills

Our vision is to secure the remaining $43,400 necessary to extend digital literacy education to at least 1,000 additional students. We kindly invite you to continue supporting this impactful program and help us connect with like-minded partners who share our commitment to empowering children through digital literacy.

Your ongoing support is invaluable, and we express our deepest gratitude for your generosity. Together, we can create a lasting impact and equip children with the skills necessary to succeed in today's digital world.

Thank you for your continued partnership in shaping a brighter future for the students we serve.
