Africa's Talking WIT Kampala Hackathon : Building for social good.

 #WeLoveNerds #ATWIT 

We're excited to invite you to a special event where we'll create a safe online space for victims of gender-based violence. In collaboration with Flourish Hub, an organization dedicated to supporting survivors of gender-based violence, we aim to create a platform that provides a confidential and accessible space for survivors to seek help, learn about their rights, and connect to essential support services.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide a confidential and accessible platform where victims can:

- Get help easily

- Learn about their rights

- Connect to essential support services

Why It Matters

Many victims struggle to get help because of fear, isolation, or lack of resources. We want to use technology to break down these barriers and ensure victims get the support they need.

Join Us

Whether you're a tech expert or just starting out, this hackathon is open to everyone. Let's work together to create a safe online space that empowers victims and supports their healing journey.

Participants will not only gain valuable hands-on experience, applying knowledge from previous workshops, but also have the chance to win exciting prizes and see their innovative ideas brought to life. This event is designed to spark creativity, foster practical skills, and drive meaningful solutions that elevate our community.
