Who We Are
The Problem
Rwanda has made remarkable progress in digital inclusion, but fundamental challenges persist in technology access and usage for women and girls. According to UNICEF, just 5.1% of young women regularly use the internet. This highlights the urgent need to bridge the digital divide in Rwanda.
Our Vision
We are a force of change, driven by the belief that every girl and young woman, regardless of where they come from, deserves the opportunity to thrive in the digital age.
Why Tech
In rural Africa, only about 28% of people have access to the internet, leaving many without essential digital tools. The gap is even wider for women, with only 19% having access to technology.
This lack of technology hinders education, job opportunities, and access to vital information.
Women from poor families, teenage mothers, and survivors of sexual abuse face even more significant barriers, struggling to access education, job opportunities, and essential resources.
Vision
Empowering girls through technology with an ecosystem approach.
Mission
Our mission is to bridge the gender digital divide through Education, Health, and Entrepreneurship in Rural Rwanda.
Values
Advocacy, Integrity, Excellency, and Partnership
