Freedompop ICT Empowerment for Women and Youths

Freedompop ICT empowerment for women and youths is the training arm of Freedompop saddled with responsibility to train, empower and build capacity of women and youths in Information Communications Technology (ICT) across Nigeria.

With the realisation of the vast gap and digital divide which changing information and communications technologies (ICT) around the world brings, and the challenges these have brought to developing countries, information and knowledge sharing or dissemination has become a more pressing problem for the women-folk and younger ones in Africa, especially in the West African region.
