October 21, 2024 | Madyangove Primary School, Chivi Growth Point
On October 21, Mother Africa International Trust joined the ICT Conference on Cybersecurity Awareness held at Madyangove Primary School. Represented by Tirivashe Marinda and Tonderai Mugova, our team spotlighted why STEM education matters for digital safety in areas that often get overlooked .
Bringing Cyber Safety to Rural Schools
Have you ever wondered how a student in a remote village learns to spot an online scam? At this conference, discussions led by Hon. Tatenda Mavetera and experts from across Zimbabwe dove into personal data protection, online financial security, and cyberbullying. By tailoring examples to everyday life—like securing basic mobile banking apps—we helped bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Empowering Through STEM
Our message was clear: digital literacy starts with hands‑on STEM learning. We demonstrated simple, budget‑friendly activities that teachers can use to introduce coding logic and cybersecurity concepts in class. These practical tips empower both students and educators to stay safe online, long after the conference ends.
This event reinforced Mother Africa International’s commitment to bringing quality digital education and safety awareness to underserved communities. It wasn’t just a meeting of experts—it was a chance to spark curiosity, build confidence, and lay the groundwork for a more secure digital future in rural Zimbabwe.
