Real Opportunities Network ICT for girls program is to introduce girls to blogging, coding, website designing after learning the basic of ICT. This project is to erode the perception in our society that ICT is a man's area.

Many girls will find their niche if introduced to the real world of ICT instead of just using Microsoft word to produce data, but to know that there is more to enhance the chances to acquire better positions in the IT career opportunities available.

The target is girls between ages 8 -24. This is to liberate this group from the gender bias and the gender stereotypes that mitigate against females who pursue ICT and to set a foundation of girls who will take up ICT to another level.
It is seen as a male dominant area with only few females in Ghana showing interest in it. When girls get the opportunities to learn how create apps and be encourage to take up other software project, it will naturally help to remove the monster that put fear in girls taking up IT courses.
