Rwanda is the country by which gender policy has been took as a good example that reflects Rwandan good governance. Women are given chance to participate in the government as they are attributed to that capacity of standing where a man can too.

From the time when our modern and connected world, started to be globalized, ICT has become increasingly the means which people learn, become informed about the world around them by being connected with friends and opportunities and give themselves a voice. It is obvious that women also have a share in the cyber world leading people to wide and sustainable development.
This project of empowering women didn’t occur hazardously since the International Development Community has recognized that investing in women is the most direct and effective way to promote economic growth, peace and prosperity.

Rwanda has gained the score! Girls in ICT Rwanda is one of the current associations in Rwanda that have started with this aim of promoting women about Information Communication Technology and growing their intimacy to ICT for development.
It’s very good to see communication and technology burning in all kind of people. This group which was born last year has visited a number of schools in Rwanda including Lycee de Kigali and Gashora Girls School. During these visits, the group’s members speak to teenage girls to encourage them to consider ICT as a career option as well help them to understand and appreciate the importance of developing ICT skills in any career.

Coming from petite to adult, their aim is to empower those growing ladies as they are happening to set in little girl’s minds that ICT is very crucial wherever they can go. Communication literate people always win. However, even if new technology has been said for a long time to be a blow-mind tool, especially for low level learners, it’s time to wake to the new world which is coming with new updates!
