[kictanet] Ericsson targets girls to power growth of Information Communication Technology

[Barrack Otieno]

I think we need more collaboration. Dorcas Muthoni and her team in Linux
Chix have been doing something in this area annually, might be good to
enjoin all this initiatives. Just seen another similar press piece from CCK
it makes me wonder what the goal of this separate initiatives is. United we
stand divided we fall.

Best Regards
