Our journey was borne out of the desire to see young people as well as their parents and guardians learn to navigate digital spaces safely and become empowered Digital Citizens.

Though we have transitioned through many phases, from Digital Age Conversations to Digital Age Africa to who we are now — an amalgamation of all of those ideas and approaches.

  • We aim to become Africa’s leading organization supporting families, schools, and enterprises to thrive in the digital age—while influencing global standards in social and entrepreneurial cyberspace practices.

  • Digital Wellness Africa (DWA) began in 2014 with the launch of Digital Age Conversations (DAC).

    Our founders were responding to an urgent need: children in Zimbabwe were navigating the online world without the necessary guidance or support.

    As our interactions expanded to include concerned parents and overwhelmed educators, it became clear that digital safety and wellness were not just individual concerns—they were societal ones. This inspired us to broaden our mission and deepen our impact.

  • Over time, our work evolved into a continent-wide initiative under the DWA banner. As technology became more advanced—and risks more severe—our role grew to include advocacy, training, policy influence, and international collaboration.

    Our strategic framework is rooted in Articulation, Activation, and Awareness, recognizing the deep interconnectedness between our digital and real lives.

Who we are

Digital Wellness Africa and its sub-arms are built around a specific set of goals and framework: Articulation, Activation and Awareness.

While many organisations focus on specific aspects of digital interaction, the DWA takes a broader, more holistic approach that recognizes the very real overall connectedness of both the digital world and the real world. Neither exists in a vacuum nor can one really be ignored for the other.

What do we mean by this? Affordable access to technology, for instance, is a very real challenge faced by many Zimbabwean and African youths as a whole. This paired with Africa’s particular particular history and struggles means that although we have seen technological advancement in certain aspects there has come with it a terrifying lack of preparedness for the levels of technology (and its capabilities), such data protections and policies that should protect citizens on line.

Interactions in the digital space can have very real-world repercussions.

So our approach is broken down as follows…

Articulate

to identify, speak out and speak with

Activate

engage with, encourage and give agency to the different groups

Awareness

to work with local, regional and international partners to share information, develop tools and resources to question and influence changes through knowledge
