Empowering communities through data literacy, information transparency, and media education across Africa

25/05/2026

Today, as we celebrate Africa Day, we celebrate more than a continent. We celebrate the voices, cultures, knowledge systems, innovation, and resilience that continue to shape Africa’s story.

At DIMLIS Africa, we believe Africa’s future must also be protected in the digital space. In an era shaped by artificial intelligence, data, media, and information ecosystems, Africans must not only consume technology but actively shape it. Our languages, stories, identities, and realities deserve representation in the systems defining the future.

Africa Day is therefore a reminder that digital literacy, information integrity, ethical technology, and data justice are not optional. They are part of the continent’s liberation and development journey.

As we mark this day, we reaffirm our commitment to building an informed, empowered, and digitally resilient Africa where young people can lead, innovate, and tell African stories on African terms.

Happy Africa Day.

Your data is your digital identity, protect it.

📌 Don’t overshare personal details online.
📌 Enable 2FA (two-factor authentication).
📌 Be cautious of public Wi-Fi.
📌 Back up important files regularly.

Good digital hygiene means fewer risks of hacking, scams, or identity theft.

👉 How often do you check your online privacy settings?

Every day, thousands of young people scroll through headlines, forwards, viral videos, AI-generated content, and breaking news; often without knowing what is true, manipulated, biased, or completely false.

In a digital world where misinformation spreads faster than facts, the ability to verify information is no longer optional, it is a survival skill.

That is why on 29th May 2026, Dimlis Africa, in partnership with Africa Check Kenya and JSAK, will be hosting an Information Integrity Bootcamp at Zetech University.

The session will be led by Alphonce Shiundu and Makinia Juma, who will guide participants through critical conversations on:
• Information Integrity
• Media & Data Literacy
• AI Literacy
• Digital Hygiene
• Fact-Checking

This is more than a bootcamp.
It is a space to question, verify, think critically, and learn how to responsibly navigate today’s digital information ecosystem.

Because informed societies are built by people who can tell the difference between noise and truth.

Today, on World Malaria Day, DIMLIS Africa joins the global community in raising awareness about malaria — a preventable and treatable disease that still affects millions across Africa.

In a world driven by information, data and media literacy play a crucial role in the fight against malaria. Access to accurate information empowers communities to take preventive action, seek timely treatment, and challenge misinformation that can cost lives.

At DIMLIS Africa, we believe that informed communities are healthier communities. By strengthening data and media literacy, we can support better health decisions and contribute to ending malaria.

Together, let’s spread knowledge, promote prevention, and save lives.

Myth or Fact: You should drink 8 glasses of water every day?
Short answer: It’s more of a myth than a strict rule.

The “8 glasses a day” guideline is popular because it’s simple and easy to remember—but hydration is not one-size-fits-all. The amount of water your body actually needs depends on several important factors.

1. Your body and lifestyle matter
Everyone’s body is different. Factors like your age, weight, and overall health influence how much water you need. For example, someone who is physically active or works outdoors (especially in hot climates) will naturally require more fluids than someone who is mostly sedentary.

2. Your diet contributes to hydration
Water doesn’t only come from what you drink. Many foods—especially fruits and vegetables like watermelon, oranges, cucumbers, and spinach—contain high water content. If your diet includes these, you may not need to drink as much plain water to stay hydrated.

3. Climate and environment play a big role
In hotter regions or during dry seasons, your body loses more water through sweat. This means your hydration needs increase. Living in a place like Kenya, where temperatures can vary significantly, makes it even more important to adjust your intake based on the weather.

4. Listen to your body
Rather than sticking rigidly to a number, a more reliable approach is to pay attention to your body’s signals. Feeling thirsty, having a dry mouth, or noticing dark-colored urine are signs that you may need more fluids.

5. Quality of hydration matters too
Hydration is not just about quantity. Consuming clean, safe drinking water is essential. Sugary drinks or highly caffeinated beverages may not hydrate you effectively and can sometimes do more harm than good.

So what’s the takeaway?
Instead of forcing yourself to drink exactly 8 glasses a day, aim to stay consistently hydrated throughout the day. Drink when you’re thirsty, increase your intake during physical activity or hot weather, and include water-rich foods in your diet.

In a world full of widely shared health advice, it’s important to question what we hear and seek accurate, evidence-based information. Not every popular recommendation applies equally to everyone—and informed choices lead to healthier lives.
