In a world increasingly driven by technology, the voices shaping innovation must be as diverse as the people it serves. Yet, across Nigeria and beyond, women remain underrepresented in the tech space—often held back by societal expectations, limited access, and lack of support. Empowering the next generation of women in tech is more than a buzzword; it is a national priority and a pathway to sustainable development.
That’s why initiatives like the FemmeTech Empowerment Scheme are stepping up to change the narrative. As the first of its kind in Rivers State and one of the most ambitious tech empowerment programs for women in Nigeria, FemmeTech is on a mission to train and empower 2,000 women across the nation—equipping them with digital skills, confidence, and opportunities to thrive in a tech-driven world.
From digital marketing to cybersecurity, videography to web development, FemmeTech isn’t just teaching tech—it’s building a movement of women who are bold enough to code, create, lead, and disrupt.
The future is female. The future is digital. And it starts now.
Why Women in Tech Matter
When women are included in the world of technology, the results are powerful. Diverse teams build better products, solve problems more creatively, and represent broader perspectives. Empowering women in tech ensures that digital solutions work for everyone, not just a few.
Women are not just users of technology—they are capable innovators, engineers, designers, analysts, and creators. But in many parts of Nigeria, these possibilities still seem distant due to cultural barriers, limited access to resources, and lack of mentorship.
That’s why the work of FemmeTech is so crucial.
The Challenges Holding Women Back
Despite the growing need for digital talent, many young women still face these challenges:
Limited access to affordable digital education and training
Gender stereotypes that discourage women from choosing tech careers
Lack of role models and mentors who can guide and inspire
Economic barriers that make it difficult to pursue or continue tech training
Balancing societal roles with professional aspirations
These barriers can silence potential. But when you give a woman the right tools and environment, she doesn’t just survive—she thrives.
