What?
The focus of this training was to equip young girls with basic ICT skills and as a result make them agents of development who will continue to educate other children in the communities.
Why?
In Ghana, like in many other countries, girls continue to struggle to receive the access to education. One of the main goals of KFDWB is the empowerment of women and girls through education. The ability to use a computer and Internet is one of the recourses, which can provide work possibilities and help the women and girls to exchange the information and to expand their social network. Therefore, KFDWB believe that providing the free ICT training contributes to their empowerment.
