A Year of Transformation: From Chance Encounter to Empowering Partnership in Burundi ✨ One year ago, while exploring the remote mountainous regions of Burundi, I stumbled upon a remarkable group of women. In a small sewing shop nestled among the hills that once witnessed war, these resilient artisans were crafting beautiful clothes and accessories using vibrant local fabrics. Fast forward to today, and I'm thrilled to share an incredible update. Our Women in Tech®Burundi chapter director Chris Clement Igiraneza recently visited these inspiring women, and I'm proud to announce the tangible impact we've made together: 🧵Provided new electrical sewing machines, enhancing their production capabilities. ☀️Installed solar panels on their boutique, ensuring reliable and sustainable power. 💻Donated 6 computers to help them develop their online presence and expand their market reach. This journey from a chance roadside encounter to a meaningful partnership exemplifies the power of community and sustainable development. These women, who have persevered through challenging times, are now poised to take their craft to new heights. I'm humbled by their determination and excited to see how they'll leverage this technology to grow their business.

We are excited and proud to unveil #BeyondCeilings, a film campaign by WOMEN IN TECH ® Global and UN Women, aimed at breaking the glass ceiling🔥 From a young age, girls are taught that the sky has limits. From experiencing gender bias in school to being promoted more slowly than their male peers, women face the pervasive “glass ceiling” in many ways. Globally, women hold only 28.2% of management positions in the workplace. Of all CEOs of global Fortune 500 companies, 5.8% are female. Despite the progress made in recent decades, if the current pace of change continues, women’s share of leadership positions will reach only 30% by 2050. WOMEN IN TECH ® Global, with the support of UN Women, have initiated a global campaign to highlight the continuing challenges of invisible yet significant barriers — commonly known as the "glass ceiling" — that hinder women in various fields, especially in STEM. The campaign film debuted at the Women in Tech Global Summit 2024 in Paris.
