Our Interns
At Gender Tech Initiative-Uganda, we believe that access to science and technology is a fundamental right, and that women and girls should have the same opportunities as men and boys to pursue careers in these fields. Unfortunately, gender inequality remains a significant barrier for many women and girls around the world. That’s why we’re dedicated to promoting gender equality in science and technology through our programs and initiatives.
To help us achieve this mission, we invite a dedicated team of interns and volunteers who provide support to our organization. Our interns are passionate about promoting gender equality in science and technology, and they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organization. Here meet our current and past Interns:
