The African Centre for women in ICT is involved in offering ICT skills and lifeskills to youth from deprived backgrounds so that they too can compete in the global scale which has fast become a global village. With these skills, the students can programe, code,work with microsoft office packages and pursue college work from the offered lifeskills they get during the training.One major objective is to have as many centers in the 47 counties and even beyond the Kenyan borders, that will reach to the grassroot and have as many students get the training.The work is innovative and has impacted many because these digital skills are offered free of charge therefore making more and more young people have interest in the learning which puts them at a competitive platform with the rest.
