In addition, the delegation supported the launch of the Titrit mentoring platform, which aims to bring digital inclusion to 50,000 girls by 20251. This platform was developed by eSTEM Morocco, a nonprofit initiative founded by TechWomen fellows 1
The Titrit mentoring platform, developed by eSTEM Morocco, is designed to bring digital inclusion to 50,000 girls aged 8 to 18 in Morocco by 2025 1. Here are some of the key benefits of the platform:
Digital Skills Training: The platform provides training on interpersonal, entrepreneurial, and STEM skills 2. The girls then partner with female business owners, where they use their digital knowledge to help those entrepreneurs succeed 2.
Promoting Digital Inclusion: The platform aims to bring digital inclusion to girls in Morocco, particularly those in underserved communities 1. This is achieved through the distribution of HP laptops to local and national NGOs, which set up digital centers for girls 2.
Career Development: eSTEM Morocco works with volunteer mentors and tech partners to equip girls with the tools and confidence needed to pursue sustainable scientific and technological careers 1.
Community Support: The platform has received support from various organizations, including the Digital Equity Accelerator, an initiative of the Aspen Institute in collaboration with HP 1. This support includes financial assistance, business coaching, and technology products such as HP laptops 2.
Through these initiatives, the Titrit platform is making a significant contribution to reducing the digital gender divide and promoting digital literacy among girls in Morocco 1. It’s a shining example of how technology can be leveraged to empower young women and provide them with the skills they need to succeed in the digital age 2 1.
