Girllead Talent Accelerator

GirlLEAD Talent Accelerator is a nonprofit organisation that aims to bridge the digital gender gap by providing education, training, and employment opportunities in STEM, leadership and social entrepreneurship for women and girls in underserved communities across Africa. For more than four years, GirlLEAD has equipped over 3,500 women and girls with software engineering, data, UI/UX design and business allied skills through on-site bootcamps and virtual training programs, thus enabling women and girls to transition into STEM careers while empowering them in their unique capacity to become changemakers to positively impact their communities.
