What We Do

Online Child Exploitation Prevention

Protect Us Kids Foundation works to prevent online child sexual exploitation through research, education, and global collaboration. Our initiatives equip young people, families, and communities with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize risks in digital spaces and respond safely. Through programs such as the We-Rise Portal and the Global Youth Life Network, we create trusted environments where youth can learn, connect, and strengthen their digital resilience.

Academic Outreach, Training & Development

We strengthen digital resilience through partnerships with academic institutions and community organizations. Our programs equip youth in rural and under-resourced communities with essential cybersecurity and internet safety knowledge. Through accessible training, research collaboration, and community engagement, we help young people navigate digital environments safely and confidently.

Health Affairs

Protect Us Kids Foundation supports the emotional and psychosocial well-being of children impacted by online harm. Through partnerships with health and child protection professionals, we provide guidance, training, and resources that strengthen community responses and support recovery for young people affected by digital exploitation.

Youth Life Program

We aim to empower young people in communities with diverse needs and across the globe by teaching them how to engage in safe, meaningful, and healthy online interactions. Through a combination of peer-to-peer support and open communication, the program helps youth develop self-awareness and strengthen their online relationships. Our goal is to foster trust, encourage ethical and positive cross-cultural engagement, and inspire an appreciation for the diverse perspectives they encounter online.

“First, the organization sticks to its mission to raise awareness of cybersex trafficking among minors from underprivileged and rural areas. The organization also provides the best working environment to interact with all volunteers and learn something new. I have never even once regretted being part of the organization as a volunteer, and therefore would recommend it to anybody who shares their vision and mission to join PUK.”

- Volunteer Michael K. from KE (February 2023)
