In line with one of the targets of SDGs Goal No 5, our mission is to achieve Gender Equality by promoting and supporting the use of information and communication technologies to empower women and girls.
Our Vision
Our vision is to facilitate the creation of hubs in different rural townships, hubs set up to explore and equip individuals with digital skills. Hubs set up to provide a safe and conducive environment for young people and women to do tech.
Our Goal
Providing a safe, equipped and conducive environment for individuals who are curious and want to do Tech in Ijebu-Imusin and environs. Most especially young people and women.

We are a non profit that works to teach and inspire young people to be prosumers of technology that will aid in solving societal problems through the funding of ICT workshops and programmes. We are duly registered as a non-stock corporation in the state of Delaware, USA. And operate as a community sponsored project of #HdyTech in Nigeria.
Our Story
Our story is quite interesting and full of twists. What started out as an office space turned out to be a hub used to empower young people who are curious about tech.

Geobajas Hotel opened in December 2002, has been providing accommodation and restaurant services to visitors and guests in its community. Without them, our hub will not exist as they are kind enough to offer us a space to use for our activities.
One of the key goals of the EQUALS Digital Skills Fund created by the German Development Foundation is to facilitate appropriate digital skills training for up to 10,000 women and girls which includes the use of technology for social change and entrepreneurship. The fund is administered in partnership with the World Wide Web Foundation, established in 2009 by web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee to advance the open web as a public good and a basic right. They are an independent, international organisation fighting for digital equality — a world where everyone can access the web and use it to improve their lives.
