To address the gender gap in Africa’s tech and digital landscape, wife of the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), Mrs. Folu Adeboye, has launched The Ladies in Tech Africa Program (LITA), a free three-month tech training programme aimed at empowering 76,000 women across the African continent.

The initiative, a partnership between Africa Missions Global and The Incubator Hub, will provide participants with in-depth training in high-demand tech skills. The curriculum is designed to be accessible to women of all backgrounds through an online learning platform.

By offering free training, The Ladies in Tech Africa (LITA) seeks to remove financial barriers that often prevent women from pursuing careers in technology. The programme aims to create a robust pipeline of skilled female tech talents, thereby fast-tracking Africa’s journey towards digital transformation and sustainable development.

According to Adeboye, “We believe that empowering women is essential for driving innovation and economic growth in Africa, and The Ladies in Tech Africa Programme is committed to creating a more inclusive tech ecosystem where women have equal opportunities to succeed.

The programme which commenced this August offers a comprehensive curriculum covering a range of tech skills. The Ladies in Tech Africa Programme is aligned with the Africa Missions Global’s Horizon 2033 initiative, which aims to contribute to the broader goal of empowering 100 million Africans with the digital and creative economy skills needed to thrive in the 21st century.

By nurturing and supporting female tech entrepreneurs with mentorship and career guidance, the programme seeks to play a vital role in driving innovation, economic growth, and social development across the continent.
