ICT and STEM for women and girls
Empowering women and girls with skills in ICT and STEM is key to breaking barriers and unlocking their potential in the digital and technological age. In a rapidly evolving world, access to technology and technical skills is no longer a luxury but a necessity for meaningful participation in education, employment, and entrepreneurship. Our initiatives are focused on bridging the gender gap in ICT and STEM, ensuring that women and girls have the knowledge, resources, and support to thrive as innovators, leaders, and changemakers in their communities and beyond.
Mentorship and Networking
Our programs connect women and girls with mentors in the tech and STEM fields, providing guidance, support, and professional networking opportunities. We organize industry meetups, career fairs, and online forums to help participants build valuable connections and gain insights into various career paths.
Access to Resources
CAGEAD facilitates access to technology, such as laptops, software, and internet connectivity, ensuring that women and girls have the tools they need to succeed.
Awareness and Advocacy
We conduct awareness campaigns and advocacy efforts to promote the importance of women and girls in STEM and ICT fields. By highlighting role models and success stories, we work to challenge stereotypes and encourage more female participation in these sectors.
Collaboration with Industry Partners
CAGEAD collaborates with tech companies, educational institutions, and non-profits to create internship opportunities, apprenticeships, and practical experiences for women and girls. These partnerships help bridge the gap between education and employment, providing real-world experience and job readiness.
Through these comprehensive initiatives, CAGEAD aims to equip women and girls with the skills, resources, and support they need to excel in technology and STEM fields, contributing to a more inclusive and innovative future.
