TECH4DEV stories

Real stories of people using digital skills to improve their livelihoods and create new opportunities.

I never imagined myself in tech. As a young mother of two who wears a full hijab, I struggled with imposter syndrome and chose teaching, not out of passion, but because it felt safe. Everything changed when I joined the Women Techsters Fellowship. I even took my interview from a hospital bed after giving birth, determined not to miss the opportunity. Months later, I landed a tech role earning over 5 times more than I did as a teacher improving my financial stability, and ability to actively support and provide for my family
