    Community-Based Labs and Access

    The Trust is establishing a nationwide network of girl-friendly Community ICT Labs in partnership with GIFEC and other stakeholders. These refurbished and fully equipped centers provide safe, inclusive spaces where girls can access computers, internet, and hands-on training in coding, digital literacy, robotics, and emerging technologies. Staffed by trained facilitators and Master Trainers, the labs operate year-round in selected districts across each region, offering free or subsidized certified training, mentoring, and self-paced learning modules designed to empower girls at every stage of their education.

    The initiative aims to bridge the digital divide by ensuring that girls have consistent access to technology and mentorship, fostering their growth and participation in the digital economy.​
