April Digital Learning Holiday, Elgeyo-Marakwet County, KenyaThis April Holiday, learners from several schools from Sangurur area in rural Elgeyo-Marakwet county are coming together for the Sangurur Community Digital Learning programme. Throughout the break, they are actively engaging in Scratch 3 coding, gaining hands-on experience in block-based programming and building their confidence with digital tools. The cross-school setup is strengthening digital skills while also fostering collaboration, peer learning, and a stronger sense of community among participants. With only a few schools in the constituency running digital learning centres, the Programme continues to empower young learners with essential 21st century skills demonstrating the power of community-driven digital education in rural areas.

International Girls in ICT Day highlights the importance of encouraging girls and young women to pursue studies and careers in technology.Across Sub-Saharan Africa, women remain underrepresented in the digital economy. The World Bank reports that women are 37% less likely than men to use mobile internet in the region. Globally, women hold approximately 26–28% of jobs in technology-related fields.Closing this gender digital divide is essential to building inclusive economies across Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and Ethiopia, where access to digital skills can transform educational and employment opportunities for girls.At Camara Education, we work with schools in these countries to expand access to ICT equipment, digital literacy training, and supportive learning environments. By equipping girls with the tools and confidence to engage with technology, we help open pathways into STEM and future-focused careers.Together, we can ensure the next generation of innovators across Africa includes more girls leading the way.#GirlsInICT #DigitalInclusion #STEMEducation #GenderEquality #CamaraEducationSources: World Bank, “The Mobile Gender Gap in Sub-Saharan Africa”; UNESCO Institute for Statistics, Women in Science data (latest available estimates). ...
