We're on a mission to empower women with a gender specific professional toolkit to succeed in finance and technology careers. We believe Africa's ability to contend on the global stage depends on her ability to equip men and women with transferrable skills, access, and opportunities in every facet of her socio-economic structure. Women, in particular, face greater obstacles on their journey to professional and personal success. The overwhelming majority of women battle with social stigma, wage discrimination, occupational segregation, and sexual harassment. These challenges are significantly widening the gender gap. As a result, we believe that by helping young college women break into the most dynamic industries, we can tackle one of the most pressing social issues and kickstart Africa's economy.
