I am so grateful for the tech-entrepreneurship training that Apps and Girls offer to young women like us; I wish that every girl in my community could pass through your hands because you help us succeed in life.
I am grateful to Apps and Girls through the Jovia program, as the knowledge and skills I gained from the course enabled me to obtain employment. I was hired as a secretary immediately after finishing the training, and I was in charge of company data analysis, which was something I had never done before. In addition, I am currently enrolled in college to pursue a Diploma in Information Communication Technology while working as a graphic designer for various clients and earning money. This program has changed my life and improved my self esteem. I would unquestionably recommend this program to others, particularly my fellow young girls.
When I failed my O-Level exams, I lost all hope and thought that my life would never get any better, but the technology and entrepreneurship knowledge I gained from Apps and Girls made me realize that I can add value and change my life situation and my community’s, the program gave me the experience of turning challenges into opportunities and enabled me to dive deep on challenges that I and other children face in school and come up with a solutio which tries to reduce and eliminate the drawbacks which led to academic poor performance. I sincerely encourage many more girls to participate in this program because it will help them improve their lives and the communities in which they live.
The program exceeded my expectations. I have to admit, I wasn’t overly enthusiastic when I first applied, but attending it completely changed my perspective. The skills I’ve acquired here are invaluable, and I can already see how they will shape my future endeavors. The trainers are fantastic, and I’m genuinely excited to continue and further develop my project. This experience has been truly transformative, and I’m confident in the impact it will have on my journey ahead.
My greatest ambition was to help those in vulnerable groups or peers identify themselves and make long-term decisions. Apps & Girls has played a significant role in assisting me in accomplishing this. I’ve seen many young women graduate from this institution and go on to do amazing things that astounded many people at such a young age. I’ve taught some of them, and I’m proud to have contributed to their success as an educator. As a teacher, I’ve had the privilege of directing students to participate in a variety of activities such as coding clubs, the GES Summit, and robotics, allowing me to realize my dream of introducing these girls to new opportunities, new ideas, and new ways to achieve their goals. Since 2017, I’ve been doing this, and the number of students who have benefited has steadily increased. Thank you once more to Apps & Girls for believing in me and believing that I deserved to be named Best Teacher / Mentor at the 2021 Girls Entrepreneurship Summit. It’s a significant achievement for me. My advice to anyone reading this is that Apps & Girls is the best organization for your girl child to realize her dreams through the ICT courses or projects that these organization offers.
When I started training at Jovia, I had no idea that by the end of the program I will have a working project that solved a social issue using technology. I learned a lot of IT skills, especially different coding languages like PHP, CSS, java, c++, and HTML. I became a website designer by using WordPress and the HTML and CSS languages. Through this knowledge, I have been able to come up with my project by the name MamaHealth
