Women in Digital (WID) is dedicated to promoting women's and girls' education and empowerment through technology. Established in 2013, WID aims to create digital platforms to support, promote and empower women and girls in areas of information and technology. Women in Digital is concerned about the existing digital and gender divide within the IT sector and thus is focused to unpack these challenges and offer practical solutions along with advocating for inclusive and empowering policy provisions. Since its establishment, it has trained and empowered more than 7000 adolescent girls and women all over Bangladesh. Women in Digital is not only working towards the digital literacy of women and girls but also offering market-relevant IT skills including online business development, offering digital marketing space to profile products, development of the app, reaching to targeted online customers, and raising individual profile with special focus to women and girls. In addition, we are working towards digital-economic inclusion and empowerment of women and girls. We are proud to share that Women in Digital is the only women-led, women and girls-focused organization within the IT sector in Bangladesh. Thousands of women and girls that we have trained have not only started jobs, do online business but also significantly changed deep-rooted social and gender norms in Bangladesh. The combination of IT, financial inclusion, gender, and empowerment aspects make us unique as we aspire to see women and girls' leadership and economic independence in a more sustained way which will have an inter-generational impact. We also express our global solidarity on the same.

Empowering women with the training and job connections they need to cash in on the digital age. For this, we always need to train the girls and women. As we are working for underprivileged people we are always trying to support our students. We are arranging scholarships for our students and sometimes we are taking help from our partner organizations.

Expanding education access in the developing world reduces global poverty, but tuition and supplies are expensive. Right now, students face even greater challenges:

Lack of access to remote learning technology

Limited earning opportunities to pay for school expenses

Pressure to drop out of school to provide immediate financial support to their families

Aspiring young adults who can't afford these costs may miss out on pursuing higher education, the key to a path out of poverty.

The Women in Digital Scholarship Program can be the difference between continuing in school or dropping out. Your gift makes their progress possible.

How we take this scholarship from people, Most of the time we receive scholarship support from international partners. Sometimes we receive money from local people, we collect money from local people through bKash(mobile money transfer application) and bank transfer. For international partners, Xoom and Bank transfer.

How we run this program: We collect the scholarship amount from partners and distribute that to our students. The scholarship amount can be for a student or a group of students. We used the amounts as their course fee and sometimes we provided them the laptop. It depends on how much we have received and also the designed projects. We designed different projects for donor agencies. In that time we add a good number of students on that project with good facilities.
