ChildSafeNet has signed a Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with 14 schools across seven districts in Nepal, spanning Koshi, Bagmati, and Gandaki provinces, to conduct digital safety training sessions and workshops for students, teachers, and parents.

As part of this initiative, ChildSafeNet organised a three-day Training of Trainers (ToT) programme for 28 teachers, including headmasters, from the participating schools in Sunsari, Morang, Kathmandu, Bhaktapur, Lalitpur, Tanahun, and Kaski. The training equipped teachers with up-to-date knowledge and skills to conduct digital safety workshops effectively in their respective schools and communities.
The trained educators will conduct digital safety training sessions starting from February 2025, coinciding with Safer Internet Day (11 February 2025). The programme aims to equip students, teachers, and parents with essential digital literacy skills, fostering a safer online environment for children and young people.
The ToT programme was led by Anil Raghuvanshi, Founder and President of ChildSafeNet, as the lead trainer, along with Bimal Rawal, international child protection expert; Kapil Aryal, cyber law expert and
Associate Professor at Kathmandu School of Law; and; Rupa Pradhan Chhetri, senior child psychologist.
Speaking about the initiative, Raghuvanshi stated, “In today’s digital world, children and young people need more than just internet access—they need the knowledge and skills to navigate the online space safely. This collaboration with schools and TikTok is a crucial step toward empowering students, teachers, and parents to address online risks and promote responsible digital citizenship.”
This partnership highlights ChildSafeNet’s commitment to ensuring a safer digital space for children and young people in Nepal by equipping them with the awareness and tools to protect themselves online. ChildSafeNet has conducted digital safety training in more than forty districts of Nepal.
