about us
Safe Technology formed in October 2007 following circulation of images of minors portraying nudity. Proliferation of these images was being carried out by professional adults through email, CDs, pen-drives, etc. Committee members from public & private sectors, church groups, AG’s office, the Police and others volunteered to meet regularly and devise actions to make a difference.
mission statement
By disseminating information through Schools, Media, Churches, Industry and Community groups the Committee hopes to raise awareness across the country regarding the real threats posed by negative aspects of new technology.
