Technology Enabled Girls Alliance

The Technology Enabled Girls’ Alliance (TEGA) program aims to bridge the digital divide and combat gender disparities. Targeting adolescent girls and young women aged 14-30 from marginalized communities, TEGA provides essential digital skills through a comprehensive curriculum that includes digital literacy, cybercrime awareness, women’s rights, and financial literacy. The program empowers participants to become informed digital citizens who can challenge traditional gender norms and advocate for their rights. Since its inception, TEGA has successfully trained over 3,500 girls, fostering a generation of confident young women poised to drive social change.

Championing Change: TEGA has transformed the lives of 3500 participants by enhancing their digital literacy and critical thinking skills, with more than 800 girls in jobs.
