Ghana faces a gender gap in tech due to limited exposure, mentorship, and opportunities. Through our free training and mentorship programmes, women with restricted access have gained job-ready skills and launched careers. Extending this to women with disabilities has been impactful; for example, Gifty, who is deaf, discovered her digital potential and now pursues a tech career. This project aims to replicate such opportunities by launching a Girls' AI and Tech club in girls' senior high schools.
Ghana continues to experience a notable gender gap in the technology sector, primarily due to limited exposure, mentorship, and opportunities tailored to women. Although previous free training and mentorship programmes have successfully supported several women to launch careers in technology, access remains uneven. This imbalance underscores the need for early, targeted interventions that empower girls to explore technology and build foundational digital skills.
Through the Girls' AI and Tech club, AmaliTech will provide free hands-on training, mentorship, and access to digital tools for senior high school girls, including those with disabilities. The project will equip them with real practical skills, exposure to technology, and the confidence to explore careers in STEM, transforming fear into curiosity and potential into achievement.
By nurturing interest and competence in tech from an early age, the project will empower girls to pursue careers in technology, increasing female representation and inclusion in the digital space. As participants become mentors and role models, they will inspire others in their schools and communities, creating a ripple effect that fosters equality and long-term social and economic growth.
