A lot of people were asking me 7 years ago when I started and why as a woman are running anything digital
@geeekaaay
#Ruhusiwa #GirlsAllowed Image It's not about that girls can't do it or aren't inspired but I think from my context it's about affordability.
We buy boys tablets and toy-phones but we buy girls barbie dolls and playhouses

Teachers need to be trained on how to be sensitive and help encourage pregnant girls to stay in school. The community also plays a huge role for girls to stay in school.

@mkubvoruno #ruhusiwa #girlsallowed Investing in cultural and traditional leaders who become custodians of the whole process to make sure that pregnant girls go back to school. Victimisation is not the way to help pregnant girls access education

Drought and lesser rains affect Zimbabwe and this, in turn, has adverse impacts on girls being used to source food for the family

Girls and women once they are capacitated with ICT and digital spaces we will find a lot of tools, and resources being created and built specifically for women and issues and the community.

@dube_earl
#girlsallowed #ruhusiwa #ruhusiwadialogues Africa literally started scrambling for ICT when Covid 19 hit and the focus became the urban centres but then the question became Do we have the capacity to serve ICTs' education even in the remotest areas.

One Third of population of Africa is actually facing some aspect of climatic shock, conflicts and insecurity, pandemics and poverty. A majority of these people facing these are girls who find themselves not getting to school

Maria Mdachi #Ruhusiwa #GirsAllowed GDP We need data and research to know the real challenges around education in Africa. Tracking all this data and students is critical to making sure that every child is getting basic education

Its important to educate the girl child especially the ones in the rural communities because when emergencies and conflict happens they are more prone to the effects of the pandemics
@kallonmohamed79 #ruhusiwa #girsallowed Getting to use IEC materials will help teach and prepare pupils around the school in rural spaces so that we can prepare students on how they can respond to emergencies and disasters
