Women in Tech: Monrovia, Liberia — April 21, 2026 — A movement to bridge Liberia’s gender gap in technology is gaining momentum as Generation Liberia supports an initiative led by youth advocate Mabongor J. Kamara.
Kamara, leading Tech Girls Drive Liberia 2026, aims to train over 5,000 girls in STEM, AI, leadership, and personal development.
Despite limited resources and minimal government backing, the initiative is gaining attention. With Generation Liberia's support, the program is set for significant expansion.
A Strategic Partnership for Impact
The partnership aims to extend the initiative’s reach into underserved communities, addressing challenges in digital education access.
Kamara emphasized the importance of collective action in transforming opportunities for young girls.
“Generation Liberia believes in our young women’s future,” she said. “Their support allows us to reach more schools, provide resources, and show girls they are valued and capable.”
Tackling Gender Gaps in Technology
The initiative addresses Liberia’s gender disparities in education and technology fields.
Advocates stress that equipping girls with digital and leadership skills is vital for personal and national development.
“Empowering girls in STEM is an economic necessity,” noted one advocate. “It strengthens innovation and inclusion.”
Changing Mindsets, Building Futures
The campaign challenges societal norms excluding girls from science and technology through outreach, mentorship, and training.
Participants gain practical skills, meet role models, and are encouraged to pursue careers in male-dominated fields.
Looking Ahead
With the new partnership, organizers focus on scaling impact and sustaining momentum.
Kamara’s mission is clear: ensure no Liberian girl is left behind in the digital world.
“This is about creating opportunities,” she said. “Building a future where every Liberian girl knows she belongs in technology.”
As the initiative expands, many will watch to see if it sparks lasting change in Liberia’s education and innovation landscape.
