Encouraging women to actively participate in technology-related activities is the goal of the EmpowerHer Tech Initiative. The organization believes that involving women in technology will open up IT career opportunities for young girls in secondary schools.
A recent event at Government Secondary School, Kubwa, Abuja, emphasized the organization’s mission to inspire and equip high school girls with the necessary skills, confidence, and exposure to succeed in the digital economy.
Through workshops, mentorship programs, and access to the latest technology, EmpowerHer Tech aims to spark innovation and problem-solving skills in young women, creating a pathway for future leaders and innovators in the tech industry.
The organization highlighted the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, emphasizing the need to address this imbalance through initiatives like EmpowerHer Tech to provide girls with the tools and opportunities to succeed and break barriers.
EmpowerHer Tech believes that investing in girls not only promotes community growth and business competitiveness but also fosters a more equitable society for a sustainable future.
During the event, keynote speaker Dr. Adaora Dagogo inspired the audience to envision themselves as future leaders in transformative tech careers.
