DigiGirlz Morocco was established in 2017 in response to the lack of opportunities and support for young girls interested in STEM and IT in Morocco. DigiGirlz is linked with Association Anoual, a Moroccan NGO whose mission is to “Empower the future leaders for effective initiative and positive impact in their communities” (Association Anoual Home, 2020). Their mentorship program empowers university and high school-aged female students to pursue IT endeavors and teaches valuable skills such as leadership and self-advocacy. Our team assisted DigiGirlz in developing strategies for future expansion. We recommended methods to improve their current program and proposed a list of potential partner organizations including strategies to expand the program internationally.
