I think we need more collaboration. Dorcas Muthoni and her team in Linux Chix have been doing something in this area annually, might be good to enjoin all this initiatives. Just seen another similar press piece from CCK it makes me wonder what the goal of this separate initiatives is. United we stand divided we fall.

The telecommunications manufacturer Ericsson Kenya has upped its ante in training and funding of more girls in information communication technology ( ICT) courses. The firm hopes this will reduce the growing gender imbalance in the technology sector. The firm has taken up annual Girls in ICT day to expose high school girls to learning more on ICT careers.
