Young Women in IT

Happy International Women's Day 2026!

Today, we celebrate the incredible contributions of women and girls around the world. This year's theme, "Give to Gain," reminds us that investing in women and girls is a win-win for everyone.

At Young Women in IT (YWiIT), we're proud to be part of a movement that's empowering young women between the ages of 13 to 21 with coding and ICT-related skills. Our programs have equipped them with confidence, 21st-century skills, and a sense of self-reliance that's transforming their lives and communities.

Investing in a woman is investing in nation building. When we empower women, we empower families, communities, and entire nations. The impact is ripple: educated women contribute to economic growth, improve health outcomes, and create positive change in their communities.

We're proud of the young women who've participated in our programs, and we're committed to continuing to support and empower them to become leaders in tech and beyond.

To all the women and girls out there, remember: you are capable, you are strong, and you are valued. Keep pushing boundaries, keep breaking barriers, and keep shining!
