Mission, Vision & Values
Our Mission
To ensure every girl in Africa has the opportunity to become a digital creator, not just a digital consumer.
Our Vision
A generation of African girls who are confident, creative and equipped with the coding skills to shape the digital future of the continent.
The Problem We Solve
Africa faces a critical gender gap in technology. Across the continent, girls are significantly underrepresented in STEM education and careers.
Only 30% of science professionals in Africa are women
UNDP Ghana, "Women and Girls in Science and Technology: Bridging the Gender Gap," 2022
Africa scores just 38 out of 100 on STEM gender parity
Less than 30% of tertiary engineering graduates in Sub Saharan Africa are female
World Bank / WEF, "How Can We Get More Girls into STEM in Africa," 2021
Fewer girls than boys are enrolled in STEM programmes across Africa, driven by gender stereotypes, limited role models and psychosocial factors
ISS Africa Futures, citing African Development Bank Africa Gender Index
By 8th grade, only half as many girls remain interested in STEM compared to earlier years
AAUW, "Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics," 2010
67% of Zambia's population remains offline
Women and girls in Zambia face limited access to digital devices due to cultural norms, economic constraints and lower education levels
United Nations DCO, "New Frontiers: Zambia Embraces Digital Transformation," 2024
Code SHEROs intervenes at exactly the right moment, before girls decide that technology is not for them.
