KFCB Explores Collaboration with SOS Children’s Villages to Strengthen Digital Parenting Awareness & Child Online Safety

The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB), a State Corporation in the State Department for Youth Affairs and Creative Economy , has initiated discussions with SOS Children's Villages Kenya on a strategic partnership under the Board’s Parents Digital Literacy (PADiL) Programme, an initiative designed to equip parents, guardians, and caregivers with practical digital parenting skills and enhance awareness of online risks facing children.

During a meeting held on Tuesday, 23 June 2026, at the SOS Children's Villages in Nairobi, representatives from the two entities agreed to develop a framework that will result in a joint consumer awareness sensitization drive targeting parents and caregivers as to strengthen their capacity to guide children in safe media consumption and responsible digital engagement in an increasingly connected world.

KFCB through its Consumer Advisory function, collaborates with other Government agencies and the private sector and other like-minded stakeholders to empower parents, guardians, and caregivers with practical knowledge and tools for navigating the digital landscape through PADiL. 

The programme provides guidance on the use of parental controls, online safety measures, screen-time management, and strategies for monitoring and regulating children’s access to content across digital platforms.
