POEM BY ZUBAIDA ABDUL KARIM

POEM TITLE: BOYS

BOYS   BOYS BOYS

Boys are dangerous.

When they see a beautiful girl,

They chase her like a golden stool,

They say nice words to her buy her present,

But when they impregnate her,

They sack her like a tin of sardine

GIRLS SAY NO TO BOYS

GIRL BEWARE OF BOYS

GIRLS SAYS SAY NO TO BOYS TO BRIGHT YOUR FUTURE

BECAUSE YOUR FUTURE IS YOUR LIFE.

STARTING YOUNG: The tech needs girls’ organization

By leadership project: Thursday 23, 2014

Tech needs girls is an interactive workshop that engage girls to create technology and not just consume it we have  2 co-founders Regina Agyare CEO OF Soronko solutions AND rasheeda yehuza founder at click trade Ghana and 10 mentors who are dedicated to change these girls lives through technology. Information Technology increasingly permeates every aspect of society and provides the foundation for most modern innovation, our girls are avid use of new technologies but to date, girls and women continue to be significantly underrepresented in technical occupations.

Tech needs girls is run by Soronko Solutions which is a social enterprise that brings social change using technology. We develop technology solutions across different channels ,web, mobile, pos, tech needs girls came as part of the social projects we run, we just completed an interactive session where we took 50 girls on how to create websites develop mobile applications networking and designing innovative software. We wanted the girls to start to create technology.2013 was a very good year for us because we were able to get more girls to participate and develop keen interest in pursuing information technology as career roles.

For this year 2014 we are happy to announce a second edition of tech needs girls which comes into collaboration with the achievers book club which is an independent ghananian non-profit organisation with a simple mission: education for all girls in slums in Ghana. Their story started with a girl called Amina who lives in the Accra slum of Nima and despite excelling at school was forced into marriage at the age of 12, what happened next was that in 2011 She co-founded the ABC to help prevent similar situations to be suffered by other young girls in the community this mad Amina an inspiration to many other girls.
