Participant Stories

The digital marketing training with Gender Tech Initiative Uganda has helped me because I used to struggle to promote my small business online. The skills I gained in social media management, content creation, and online advertising have transformed my business. I now attract more customers and make better sales-all thanks to the practical, hands-on training.

As a female journalist, I deal with sensitive information daily. The cybersecurity training I attended opened my eyes to the risks I was unknowingly exposed to. I learned how to protect my data, secure my devices, and stay safe online. I now feel more confident handling my work without fear of digital threats.

Our organization faced recurring cybersecurity issues, but after the malware detection and prevention training from Gender Tech Initiative Uganda, everything changed. The knowledge and tools we received helped us strengthen our digital security. We can now identify threats early and protect our data effectively. It was a game-changer for us.

Before joining the computer literacy class, I had never touched a computer. I was scared I might break it. But now, I can type, create documents, and even draw using the computer. I feel so proud of myself, and I want to become a software engineer one day. Thank you, Gender Tech Initiative Uganda, for helping me discover a new world.
