HerTechTrail: Helping Thousands of African Women Get Into Tech
The tech industry for years now has received numerous hits on gender inclusion in its sector.
HerTechTrail a Port Harcourt-based Tech NGO is one online community for African women that hits so well on gender inclusion in the Tech Industry.
HerTechTrail is an online Tech-NGO community that helps African women build sustainable careers in tech by equipping them with relevant tech skills, and the learning tools needed e.g. laptops and providing them access to opportunities.
Recently, the percentage of African women in tech has grown to about 30% but, in a world where women are considered to be more in population than their male counterparts, it is still not enough.
