A Word from the Leadership

Ms. Gathoni Kungu

Vice President, YouthUp Global

"At YouthUp Global, we believe that every young woman deserves more than opportunity — she deserves access, mentorship, and a voice in shaping Africa's digital future. DigitizeHer isn't just a campaign; it's a movement to ensure that no woman is left behind in the transformation shaping our continent."

Ms. Sola Magaji

Advisor on Gender-Inclusive Growth, Governance & Stability | Board Supervisor, YouthUpForHer Initiative

"Empowering women with digital skills is more than closing the gender gap — it's unlocking Africa's untapped potential. Through initiatives like DigitizeHer, we're not just training women for the future of work; we're shaping a generation of creators, innovators, and changemakers who will define Africa's digital destiny."
