Empowering the Next Generation: The “100 Girls in Tech” Initiative
In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, the demand for skilled professionals in technology continues to soar. Yet, despite this boom, women remain vastly underrepresented in the tech sector, particularly in Nigeria and other developing regions. To address this disparity, the Abiodun and Yinka Atobatele Foundation (AYAF), in collaboration with the Rise to Inspire Initiative (RIA) and the support of the US Consulate, has launched a groundbreaking project: the “100 Girls in Tech” initiative. This six-month program is designed to equip 100 young women in Abeokuta with the skills and opportunities needed to break into the tech industry.
