This project is at the planning stage. It is not running yet. Timeline, location and funding details will be confirmed and published here before it starts.

The challenge

Digital skills are now needed for jobs, banking, government services and further education — yet many young women have had little chance to learn them.

Objectives

  • Teach practical computer and smartphone skills from the basics.
  • Build awareness of online safety, privacy and digital payments.
  • Help participants prepare a CV and apply for opportunities online.

Who it is for

Young women aged 16–25 from low-income households.

What we will do

  • Short courses in small batches at accessible times.
  • Volunteer mentors from technology and HR backgrounds.
  • Certificates of participation issued by Quabit.

Results & impact

No results to report yet. Results will be published here once the project is running, together with how they were measured.
