The TechnoSœurs programme, which works to promote digital inclusion for women and girls in Africa, is continuing its commitment through the DigiGirls project. In Conakry, ten girls aged between 12 and 16 recently benefited from free training in basic IT skills, designed to strengthen their digital skills and open up new educational and professional opportunities for them. Over ten days, participants were introduced to Windows
and trained in essential office tools such as Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This practical and accessible session enabled them to acquire concrete skills to better tackle their studies, school projects and, ultimately, their future
professional integration. With the DigiGirls project, TechnoSœurs places the digital empowerment of young
girls at the heart of its mission, with the aim of reducing the digital divide and promoting their active participation in Guinea’s economic and social development
