As we count down to this years’ Giving Tuesday we are excited to celebrate the power of W.TEC’s community support in empowering the next generation of girls in STEM.

Since the inception, of our She Creates Camp 2008, it has served as a transformative experience for over 600 of girls across Nigeria, providing hands-on training in technology, engineering, and digital skills. Through sharing information about our activities we have benefit largely from the public trust and acceptance, through which we have received donations and support which has enabled us to subsidize the camp costs for each participant, making this experience accessible to girls from diverse backgrounds.

Each donation has a direct impact: it helps cover essentials like training materials, tech equipment, meals, and accommodation. This support has allowed us to sustain and even grow the camp year after year, giving more girls the opportunity to ignite their curiosity and gain practical skills for the future.

As we move into the next phase of this campaign, we are asking for your help in expanding our reach. By sharing our campaign with your networks, you can help us reach even more people who care about empowering girls in technology. We also welcome suggestions on diaspora groups that might be interested in supporting this important cause.

Together, let’s continue to invest in the bright futures of our young women in STEM. Join us this Giving Tuesday, and let’s keep the doors to She Creates Camp open for more aspiring young tech enthusiasts.

Furthermore to make sharing easier, we’ve created sample messages you can use across your social platforms. Simply copy, paste, and post – or personalize them to reflect your unique voice! Don’t forget to add the hashtag #WTECGivingTuesday24 so we can track and celebrate each share that’s helping us make a difference.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s continue to fuel their dreams this Giving Tuesday by sharing far and wide!
