Our Vision 2030 WordPress Project

If you have been following our story, you would know how much we love WordPress and how much we consider WordPress, the open source software for publishing on the web, to be a tool that can be leveraged by every individual for their personal and professional empowerment.

In light of this, we are focusing on new goals. One of which is to promote WordPress for Females & Teenagers in under-served communities.
