10,000 Women in Zambia

Check out this inspiring story about a young Zambian woman whose life was touched by the 10,000 Women program.

A year ago, I was chosen as an IT scholar on a special training programme, part of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women initiative.

I had never used a computer. But as a result of that training, I am now the manager of a new IT centre in my district of Samfya.

We are a group of four women IT trainers who train young rural girls how to use computers.

We teach them how to type on the keyboard, how to print, how to do an internet search, how to download information, and how to use email.

Since the centre has opened we have had more than 500 people visit us.
