Training girls and women in coding, AI and digital skills — building Africa's next generation of women in tech.
Tech4Girls is a hands-on learning programme that trains girls and women in digital skills — including ICT, coding and AI — to support their career development. It creates opportunities for African girls and women to immerse themselves in technology and acquire the skills needed for careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), alongside soft skills such as entrepreneurship, emotional intelligence and leadership.
Women trained in ICT drive innovation and become change-makers in their communities — breaking the chains of poverty not just for themselves, but for entire generations to come. We invite you to help shape the future of the African continent and the world by becoming a Founding Donor of the Tech4Girls Academy. Book your spot on our Donor Wall today.
The HACSA Tech4Girls Academy will be a dedicated facility to accommodate and train scholars enrolled in the programme. It will enable the HACSA Foundation to scale up Tech4Girls and offer more women and girls the opportunity to acquire skills in technology, coding and artificial intelligence — enhancing their career prospects and improving access to meaningful employment opportunities.
My experience as a Tech4Girls scholar has transformed my life. The learning and mentorship from the team made me more confident and empowered to take on new challenges.
As a lawyer new to technology, I found the concepts abstract at first — but our instructor made them practical and engaging. Beyond the skills, I gained a strong network of friendships and support.
Tech4Girls helped me understand leadership and entrepreneurship. The mentorship and lectures were more impactful than a whole semester elsewhere.

The Tech4Girls Innovation Lab provides ongoing support, real-life work experience, internships and career-advancement opportunities — bridging the gap between newly acquired skills and a smooth transition into the workplace. Through hands-on projects, scholars reinforce what they have learnt, build a supportive community and pursue their interests while embracing lifelong learning.
Tech4Girls has its origins in the successful Girls Can Code project initiated by Ambassador Johanna Svaniker during her tenure as Ghana's Ambassador to France, Portugal and UNESCO. It was implemented by the HACSA Foundation in partnership with UNESCO, the Ghana Education Service, the Kofi Annan Centre for ICT, Kowri and the Synesko Foundation.
