RESIDENTS of Kaburi in Region Seven are now better equipped to navigate the digital world safely, following a recent Cybersecurity and e-Services Awareness session conducted by the National Data Management Authority (NDMA).

The initiative, part of NDMA’s ongoing outreach efforts, aims to promote safe cyber hygiene practices and boost digital literacy in remote and hinterland communities.
During the session, residents engaged in hands-on discussions focused on identifying online scams, creating strong passwords, and safely accessing government services through digital platforms.
With increasing reliance on digital tools, the session also emphasised the importance of safeguarding personal information, especially as communities like Kaburi begin to experience more consistent internet access.

Once a largely disconnected riverain village, Kaburi is steadily stepping into the digital age thanks to the government’s WiFiGY programme, which has brought reliable internet access to many remote communities across Guyana. This connectivity enables residents to immediately apply the skills and knowledge gained during NDMA’s training sessions.

The NDMA has reaffirmed its commitment to building inclusive digital opportunities for all citizens, ensuring that even the most remote communities are not left behind in Guyana’s digital transformation.
