Program summarySkilling Young Women & Girls
WODEF helps young women and girls thrive in a digital world through digital literacy, STEM exposure, access to technology, and innovation pathways linked to real opportunity.
Technology should expand opportunity, not deepen exclusion. WODEF supports young women and girls with the practical tools, skills, and exposure needed to move confidently through a more digital future.
Program overviewDigital skills, technology access, and STEM opportunity for young women and girls
