Every impactful project begins with careful groundwork. Over the past reporting period, our focus for the Coding & Digital Skills for 1,000 Girls in Ghana project has been on building strong institutional partnerships and testing our training model to ensure quality, relevance, and sustainability.
We are pleased to report that we have successfully entered into working arrangements with institutional partners, including partner universities, who share our commitment to improving digital access and skills for young girls. These partnerships are critical to the long-term success of the project, as they provide safe learning environments, technical support, and mentorship pathways for participants.
As part of this preparation phase, we conducted pilot digital skills training sessions with partner universities. These pilot sessions allowed us to test our curriculum, training approach, and facilitation methods. The feedback received has been highly encouraging, confirming both the demand for digital skills among young women and the relevance of our practical, hands-on learning model. Lessons learned from these pilots are now being incorporated to strengthen the full rollout of the Girls Coding & Digital Skills Clubs.
While the formal club sessions have not yet commenced, these early activities ensure that when implementation begins, it will be well-structured, impactful, and scalable. Establishing partnerships and validating our approach before expansion is a deliberate strategy to maximize outcomes for the girls we serve.
On the fundraising side, we have officially launched on the GlobalGiving platform and have so far raised USD 70. Although this is an early stage, it marks an important first step in mobilizing resources and building a community of supporters who believe in digital inclusion for girls in Ghana.
We are deeply grateful to our early donors and supporters. Your contributions are helping us move from planning to action—ensuring that when the clubs officially launch, they will deliver meaningful, life-changing digital skills to girls who need them most.
We look forward to sharing updates as we begin club implementation, onboard participants, and expand our reach toward empowering 1,000 girls with coding and digital skills.
