About She Learns Here initiative for skills empowerment
SLH initiative is a registered nonprofit organization in Nigeria. We teach and support women and girls with digital skills in order to improve their earning power and potential. Our programs and projects are geared towards one aim, to empower women and girls with digital skills so that their lives and businesses can be improved. It’s no secret that currently, digital technology accounts for many high-paying jobs and businesses. However, there’s still a huge gender divide in Africa, when it comes to access to technology and technology tools. Women and girls find it more difficult to afford tech tools and also tend to avoid technology because of cultural biases and to avoid discrimination. Hence, many women are stuck in low-paying jobs and businesses.
