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 promote and facilitate the creation of hubs in different townships, hubs set up to explore and equip individuals with digital skills. Hubs set up to provide a safe and conducive environment for girls, women and youth to do tech. Hubs where they are introduced to technology history, trends, software development, robotics, graphics and character development.
