Asikana Network

Asikana Network is hoping to engage with the companies in the private sector. AsikanaNetwork has partnered with organizations that offer support and mentorship to AsikanaNetwork including BongoHive, Anakazi, and Akirachix of Kenya.

Asikana aims to empower young women and equip them with ICT skills and help them in their various fields. We believe partnering with organization from the private sector will help us achieve our goals/objectives which include;

1.Provide ICT skills and training development.
2.Mentorship to the young ladies.
3.Placement for the young ladies who have qualifications in ICT.

Origins and Mission
AsikanaNetwork is the brain child of BongoHive, the first and only technology and innovation space in Zambia based in the capital city, Lusaka.
AsikanaNetwork was established in January, 2012. Our belief is that we can better the mindset of ladies/women in ICT and deal with negative stereotypes attached to ladies/women in ICT-related fields. Asikana Network has identified three groups of young women as the target group: those in high school, in University and those already in the ICT profession as the target group.
Operating methods.

Asikana Network operates through meet-ups online and physical. We also plan to have monthly trainings which will include various activities.
