As a woman passionate about women taking up space in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT),  I believe in making calls for solid and strategic action that would allow for more women in the space. One such organizing that has been at the forefront in terms of accelerating growth in harnessing the digital space and internet rights for girls, is a bonafide Zambian Women Organization which has dedicated itself to mentoring young women in various ICT skills. The organization comes in form of a Network called Asikana Network, a women driven group that aims to empower mostly young women and equip them with ICT  skills to help in their various endeavours.

Tell us a bit about your current work and background

First of all, its a pleasure to be involved in this noble institute and I must say, this is a good way of profiling the work that we are doing as a network so that we can collectively drive the agenda of African Philanthropy. So, thank you so much and big up for the thought process that inspired this. I work with the East Africa Philanthropy Network. We are a regional network of philanthropic organisations that promote giving in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda.
