OUR STORY

NURTURING TOMORROW'S TECH LEADERS

Path4Her was born from a vision to empower young African women (15–25) with product-driven career opportunities before stereotypes could limit their ambitions. We recognized a critical gap: many young women, especially from marginalised communities, were unaware of the careers shaping the future. Roles like product management, product design, and tech entrepreneurship, which drive Africa’s digital growth but remain hidden behind the ‘coders-only’ myth.

Our journey began with a commitment to bridging this divide. Through mentorship, resources, and guidance, we are nurturing a generation of African women who lead product teams, design inclusive technologies, and redefine what it means to thrive in tech.

WHY WE'RE FOCUSING ON PRODUCT DRIVEN CAREERS…

EMPOWERING YOUNG WOMEN TO EXPLORE DIVERSE TECH CAREERS

The tech industry is often portrayed as a space exclusively for coders, but in reality, building innovative, scalable products requires a broad array of skills and perspectives. From marketing and management to user experience design and research, countless roles are vital to the success of the tech ecosystem. Unfortunately, these non-technical careers are often overlooked, leaving many talented individuals (especially those with the innate soft skills that make them excel in these areas) feeling as though they don’t belong.

At Path4Her, we are committed to shattering this stereotype. Our mission is to nurture and inspire young women to recognise the vast potential within the tech world, encouraging them to explore and embrace the full spectrum of tech careers. Through mentorship, workshops, and hands-on learning opportunities, we empower women to not just participate in tech but to lead, innovate, and shape its future.

The tech industry is often stereotyped as a coding-only club, but the truth is, building innovative and scalable products requires a diverse range of skills and perspectives.

Yet, these roles are often overlooked, leaving talented individuals feeling like they don't belong.
