Built to Close the Gap Between Skills & Income

WageTech (Women and Girls in Tech Excelling) is a transformative initiative designed to equip Nigerian women with digital skills and directly connect them to income opportunities.

We believe that learning alone is not enough; women must earn, grow, and lead in the digital economy.

🌟 Vision

A Nigeria where every woman has equal access to digital opportunities, income, and economic independence.

🎯 Mission

To create a sustainable pipeline from training β†’ employment β†’ entrepreneurship for women in tech.

Nigeria's Digital Economy Is Booming β€” But Women Are Being Left Out

70%

Only 20–30% of trained women land paid opportunities. Thousands of Nigerian women acquire digital skills annually, yet the vast majority remain trapped between learning and earning β€” never breaking into the income they deserve.

WageTech exists to close this gap.
