We work to break various barriers that hinder girls & young women in ICT such as a non-existent support system, lack of role models, and prevailing gender stereotypes by providing the alternative, a supportive path into the field of ICT, and a future in tech.

We provide mentorship and incubation both online and offline to emerging young female TECH entrepreneurs which includes access to indispensable resources (support for business plans, crowdfunding, access to potential investors/funders and mentoring) to support the successful launch and scale-up of their IT-based enterprises.

We host events like workshops, hackathons, Girls Code Camps, and the Girls Entrepreneurship Summit for secondary and high school girls in Tanzania. These gatherings aim to foster innovation, creativity, and problem-solving skills through technology, encouraging girls to lead healthy lives and use their skills for positive community impact.
