In a country where young girls are often left out of critical conversations around technology and innovation, a bold new partnership is working to rewrite that narrative.
Mabongor J. Kamara, Country Lead for Tech Girls Drive Liberia 2026, is spearheading a nationwide campaign aimed at reaching more than 5,000 girls with training and exposure in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), Artificial Intelligence, leadership, and personal development. Despite operating with limited resources and no direct government support, her initiative has begun to gain traction and national attention.
Now, her efforts are receiving a major boost.
Generation Liberia, a youth-driven movement focused on empowerment and national development, has stepped in to support the initiative through sponsorship and strategic collaboration.
The partnership is expected to significantly expand the program’s reach, particularly in underserved communities where access to technology education remains limited.
Speaking on the collaboration, Kamara emphasized the importance of collective action in driving change.
“Generation Liberia believes in the future of our young women,” she said.
“Their support allows us to reach more schools, provide better resources, and show girls across the country that they are seen, valued, and capable.”
The initiative comes at a crucial time, as Liberia continues to grapple with gender disparities in education and workforce participation, especially in technology-related fields. Advocates say empowering girls with digital skills and leadership training is key to building a more inclusive and competitive economy.
Through school visits, mentorship programs, and hands-on training sessions, the campaign is not only introducing girls to technology but also challenging long-standing societal norms that limit their participation.
