In Nigeria, less than 20% of women work in technology-related fields, leaving a wide gender gap in digital skills. Many girls in rural and low-income communities lack access to computers and training, limiting their future opportunities. This project will train 500 girls in coding and digital literacy, equipping them with skills to compete in the modern job market. Urgent action is needed to prepare them for careers in technology and reduce barriers to economic independence.
Girls in rural and low-income Nigerian communities face limited access to digital skills training. Many schools lack computers, internet access, and trained teachers. Without these skills, girls struggle to compete for future education and employment opportunities. The global demand for digital skills is growing, yet many girls are left behind, reinforcing cycles of poverty and inequality in access to technology-driven opportunities.
The project will provide coding and digital literacy training for 500 girls through structured classes, mentorship, and practical exercises. Girls will gain hands-on experience in basic programming, web design, and computer use. The program will supply laptops, internet, and training materials, while also covering transport to ensure consistent attendance. Trainers will guide participants step by step, building confidence and practical skills for future opportunities.
Training girls in coding and digital literacy will expand their career options, opening pathways in technology and related sectors. With these skills, girls can pursue further education, freelance work, or entry-level jobs in tech. Access to technology knowledge will reduce the digital gender gap and create opportunities for income generation. In the long run, communities benefit as more girls contribute to local development through digital skills.
