About DeraSafe
Practical digital safety awareness for everyday life
DeraSafe is an independent Saudi digital safety awareness initiative focused on helping children, young people, families, educators and communities navigate digital technologies more safely and responsibly.
Our story
The awareness work behind DeraSafe dates back to 2018, evolving through earlier community digital-awareness activities before developing into the current DeraSafe initiative.
It exists to turn digital safety knowledge into practical daily guidance that fits Saudi family and community contexts while drawing on published national and international guidance.
