Objective of this project is to help close inequalities and gender divides while providing digital skills to young women. Since 1998, we work towards the reduction of the digital gap, specifically in public schools in slum and rural areas reaching out more than 30.000 underprivileged children and youth. Since 2014, successful work was achieved in reducing the gap in digital skills for young women through the Program TICMujeres-Ayni Bolivia.

In countries like Bolivia young girls confront a hard reality. They often do not know their rights, and are often victims of family violence. The risk is bigger now, they can be approached online by traffickers without their family even noticing it. We are developing projects where girls (between 14-20) are effectively guided to cope with these risks.

Target: In the last year we trained 1317 students During four years we have trained, almost 2000 students directly and 30.000 indirectly. Moreover and to reach more students we have also successfully trained more than 200 teachers on-the-job in public schools.

Impact:
- Increased IT knowledge; Encouraging female participation in technical and technological training;
- Increased parental involvement in (future) education; additional income for their families
- Increased pride and confidence among learners;
- Stimulation of vocational training and professional guidance
- Application of technology to other branches.
