Women Enhancing Technology (WeTech), with the generous support of lead partner Google, has selected 17 projects in Africa to receive WeTech Seed Fund grants of $2,000 to $20,000 to support their work to involve more women and girls in computer science-related opportunities. WeTech helps more women and girls enter into, and succeed in, tech-focused education and careers.
Launched last fall by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the 2013 Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Annual Meeting, the program is led by the Institute of International Education (IIE) and carried out with a consortium that includes Goldman Sachs, Google and Qualcomm Incorporated. WeTech will impact women and girls in Africa, India and the United States, developing the skills needed to fuel technological and economic growth.
