[Judith Hellerstein]

Hi Athena,

I support you 100%. I understand from other Kenyans who are disabled the significant challenges faced by men in Kenya who are disabled and these must be even greater for women.

Cheers

>>> I also support this and is why I joined as one of the founding members.  In so many communities, women are not given the same opportunities as men. This group can help celebrate their achievement and give them a place and mentorship that they need to succeed.  It will also give them a safe space that they can bring their daughters  to learn about technology. In Africa, we have seen the success of AfChiks in engaging women to learn to be engineers and the same is true for Tech Women in Afghanistan
