GIRLS ENTREPRENUERSHIP SUMMIT

A BIT ABOUT #GES

The Girls Entrepreneurship Summit (G.E.S) Is an initiative that conducts series of events for young girls to explore, showcase, engage and exhibit their tech-driven innovations in addressing community matters that range from gender, education, politics, leadership, entrepreneurship, environment, and many more. It is the first biggest annual event in Tanzania that brings together young girls from secondary and high schools to connect, learn, build innovations and solutions for community problems as well as compete for prizes.

The Girl Summit paves a way for young girls to create the world they want to live in through competitions whereby winning innovations are being supported and awarded prizes such as cash prizes, medals, trophies, laptops, and tablets. The summit focuses on young girls since they are active implementers of development initiatives in any community. We believe that if girls are equipped with the necessary tools, they can quickly roll out the wheel of development to the next level.
