  Msichana mwenye ndoto Ni Moto, Na Mimi ndio Moto. I'll climb the highest mountain, I'll dive to deepest point, I'll taste the hottest coffee, I'll wake up extremely earlier, I'll learn and learn again, I'll cross the Nile and pass through Amazon, I'll dare all I have to, Just because you said I can't do it, I'll absolutely step in fire, because, A girl with dream is fire.

  After spending a while, in digital world, that's really coming fast in our communities, I met friends from Eastern and Western of the world, physically, I just can't see them. We learn, enjoy, and entertain, But we are together digitally, that's a digital world. A sad story is, I met different situations that one feels insecure in this new world, digital world. The world that none can see really me, none can experience how I really live and feel. That's none's business. For us who depends on online space to conduct our activities, businesses, socialize and study, is the space safe for us? Back then, we all observe how young girls and women face the very personal challenges online, questions come after posting single picture, what a hell have you posted? That's an outdated fashion? You are so far! You have long feet, they don't look good for a girl? You are doubting why I took females than males, well, females are more likely to face image-based abused than...

 Towards, International Day of Education 2021. The right to education is enshrined in article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The declaration calls for free and compulsory elementary education. The Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted in 1989, goes further to stipulate that countries shall make higher education accessible to all. When it adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the international community recognized and urged that education is essential for the success of all 17 of its goals. Sustainable Development Goal 4, in particular, aims to “ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all” by 2030. This year, under the theme ‘Recovery and Resilience" Now, it is the time to power education by stepping up collaboration and international solidarity to place education and lifelong learning at the centre of the recovery. With recovery- We need to gain possession or controlling of something...

  AM I TO BE BLAMED? It is time to hit the nail on the head The time to undress falsehood  The truth I hold, took years to unfold  Now I feel my audible ability  Now I speak for I am done being weak A story I will tell awakening the pits of hell Tongue against my chest, you can imagine the rest I never choose to be stripped off  Neither did I choose to be raped You played me like a toy Deliberately without care  When I'm alone your evil memories replay in me  And your cruel voice re-echoes " don't scream,  don't scream" I screamed to be aided Unfortunately no one was there to rescue me  You built confidence and continued roughly You gave a deaf ear to my screems  Just to satisfy your wicked self Leaving me in tears of sorrow and regret But deep inside me, I'm broken into pieces  Because you never respected my dignity I look up at myself, my heart pounds My finger tips and feet cold as ice Killing myself was the only option  Les...

  In Kilwa. I've been thinking the way I see people and environment around me, is the same way it used to be in other areas too. Things are absolutely different. My name is Genila Hiel, 20 years old girl. October 2020, I participated in the project under YAPO in rural areas, Lindi, Kilwa. It was nice experiencing new kind of life that people are living there. Despite of other areas, we also focused on raising awareness and providing training on ICT matters to young girls in the villages. Scaring thing is, among of those young girls, it was their first time to touch computer, and others it was their first time to see it. But they got inspired to learn more on ICT issues and highly on how it can help them in their daily issues for instances, to simplify works, promote their businesses, get easily informed on different issues and also entertain them. In Urban areas people are way more aware of ICT than in rural areas , and as long as the world is changing to digital one and higher tec...

 Hi, it has been a bit long time since I shared the last piece with you, but am reminding you that we have only left with few days to 2021,  Before my last post for this year fortunately I met this one amazing girl. Farida Ally is a leader and beautiful girl from Kenya, she has shared some #2019TakeAways , flow with her, You can provide yours TakeAways in comment🤩 .......... What are you feeding your soul? I often ask myself this question a lot. At times, I’m guilty of praying with impure motives, only wanting to satisfy my desires which results in asking for the wrong reasons. I go before God like he owes me something because I’ve been “obedient” like okay God, I’ve done all you’ve asked of me. Can you please just answer my prayers & give me more believing that it will fulfill my appetite. Not realizing how selfish I am for not trusting His timing. I allow wanting more to hinder me from seeing all that God has already given me is what I really need.  I too have fall...

I want you to know that your dreams are valid, your dreams are possible, your dreams are real and they are yours . We still live in a society that's still male dominated in so many sectors, so it's easy for you to feel like you don't belong in engineering because there are just few girls in PCM or fewer in your college class, in mine we were 6 girls out of 120 + men, still we persevered. You belong in the course just like anyone else. I want you to know and always remember that, in fact you are paving a way and setting an example and you are showing the girls that will come after you that it can be done.  You belong in that class and in the job market after you are done with that course. Be proactive, it is easy to sink in a class of only few girls, it is easy to not be seen, or raise your voice and hand in class, it is easy to be overlooked, overstepped, mocked and laughed at, sometimes by the same men that you study with, we are not there yet, but still be proactive. Do y...
