🚀 Highlights from Tana River | Mapping Our Digital Lives 📱 "Imagine two people with the same smartphone. One uses it only to make calls and send messages. The other uses it to access government services, grow a business, learn new skills, market products, connect with customers, and earn an income. The difference isn't the device it's the opportunity, confidence, and support to use it effectively." This conversation was at the heart of our "Mapping Our Digital Lives" group discussions during the Intergenerational Dialogue in Tana River County under the #EmpowerHer Project. Participants reflected on how they use digital tools, from mobile phones and laptops to search engines, AI tools like ChatGPT, and online learning platforms, in their daily lives. Together, they looked into the barriers that prevent many women from becoming confident technology users, including cultural norms, affordability, digital skills gaps, connectivity, and online safety concerns. Working in stakeholder groups, participants identified practical actions that can create lasting change: 📱 What can households do to support women's digital access? 🤝 How can communities encourage digital inclusion? 🏛️ What support is needed from county governments? 🌍 What role should KICTANet and partners continue to play? The discussions reinforced a simple but powerful message: digital transformation is not just about access to technology, it's about empowering people to use it confidently, safely, and meaningfully to improve their lives. #EmpowerHer #SheConnects#CARE#DigitalInclusion #WomenInTech #DigitalSkills #DigitalTransformation #CommunityDialogue #TanaRiver #KICTANet
