Young women are the solution we seek in
tech innovations and leadership.
How it all began
In 2010, a group of Kenyan female software engineers passionate about changing the landscape of the
technology field,
came together and created a community.
The community supported, connected and
inspired women in the tech space.
It steadily morphed into a training program for girls and young women.
Our Vision
Be the leading source of African female technology talent for the world.
Our Mission
Provide the most promising young women in Africa, technology and entrepreneurial skills to compete economically and bridge the gender gap in tech.
OUR VALUES
EMPATHY
We strive to create a community that is aware of its differences and hold the space for one another without judgment.
DIVERSITY
We seek and celebrate our differences, our community comprises of women from different cultures, religions, and backgrounds.
COMMUNITY
We thrive when we are working and supporting each other.
LIFE LONG LEARNING
We don’t have a template of what we do, we are all on a journey to self-discovery, trial and error, tinkering and curiosity that lead us to learn new things.
OUR THEORY OF CHANGE
“I’m very conscious of the fact that you can’t do it alone. It’s teamwork. When you do it alone you run the risk
that when you
are no longer there nobody else will do it.”
The Late Great Prof Wangari Maathai,
Nobel Peace Prize Winner and Founder of the Green Belt Movement
