Founding Story
Tutoring at KIU, all my classes consisted of not more than 5 girls out of 35 plus students. Having participated in local innovation competitions at tech hubs and volunteered in Nlab(Boyfriend's project) coding sessions where women were under represented made me realize the gap in mid 2013. I started teaching coding to girls in my living room with borrowed laptops with my Boyfriend's support personal funds Because i Was using personal money was getting broke, later on I introduced Teknomama for digital literacy for women, these women contributed a small fee which helped me create the first coding club at Amuntazir girls seminary and enrolled 40 girls.
