Celebrating International Women's Day 2023

Happy International Women's Day!!! This year’s theme, "DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality", is in alliance with Save Our Needy's passion and purpose.
This year, International Women's Day celebrates the contributions of the women and girls committed to building gender-responsive innovations and advancing innovation and digital technology.
Over the years, we have initiated and successfully implemented technology-related projects that have empowered both marginalized women and girls and given them the opportunity to not only gain financial freedom but break ceilings. Projects namely "Connecting Marginalized Women to Technology and Development", "Tech Girls" and "Girls Up" have been instrumental to creating transformative change through the use of technology, advancing innovation and promoting gender equality.
With less than 10 years to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we still have a lot to do in order to close the huge gender digital divide. We need to demystify the notion that women cannot be leaders in technology. Together, we can close the digital gender gap!
