We are training 7 girls in the current program.

One that is standing out right now has left her
abusive father of her child, and started her
own business (selling snacks to school children
in the morning and evening at a nearby school
path) she has no bank account but is using her
feature phone to save through mobile money.
6. networking
•
She plans to save and buy two computers, to
train other girls like her but for a fee and open
up an internet café in her area and teach
people to use the internet.
•
Networking events encourage women to talk
about what they are doing thus creating
relationships among women in similar
situations plus identifying solutions together.
7. Future plans
•
This coming year we hope to train girls in
programming and designing so that they can build
applications and earn a living by identifying specific
organizational software solution needs and building
them, instead of looking for jobs.
•
Also to assist girls at university that do not have
personal computers which hinders their performance
by providing them with a center to access a
computer anytime at the hive colab.
