Celebrating International Women's Day (IWD) at Zone01 Kisumu 2026: Give to Gain
This year at Zone01 KIsumu, international women's day was not just a celebration but also it was an interactive session focused on learning and sharing of knowledge.Under the theme of:Give to Gain we decided to do something different from our previous years.
We brought together young minds,tech mentors for a day full of innovation,creativity and fun.
Hands-on Technovation for Young Learners
We invited girls from: Sinyolo ,Lions high and St.Paul schools to dive into the world of technology.Using App-inventor they learned how to build a simple app of their choice and experienced firsthand how technology can help solve real-world problems.
It was amazing to see their curiosity and creativity throughout the project. From building their apps to testing them, the room was full of energy and excitement.
Learning form experts and guests
The invited guests made the day even more interactive and inspiring. We were delighted to have representatives from the Directorate of ICT Kisumu, including Audrine Papetua (ICT Officer, CGK) and Rozanne Achieng (RMS Support Engineer), who shared their journeys in the tech industry.
We also held a panel discussion moderated by Vallary Odinga. The panelists included our mentors Bella Oyucho and Anne Okingo, who made the session engaging and insightful.
In addition, we had special guests like Maxi Daniels, a poet and author, and Winnie Wenger Walcott, a digital creator, who shared their inspiring journeys.
Give to Gain: The Heart of the Event
The theme Give to Gain truly came alive through mentorship, shared knowledge, and collaboration. By investing time and skills in young learners, we not only empowered them but also strengthened our community.
International Women’s Day at Zone01 Kisumu showed that empowering others benefits everyone. Every app created, every idea shared, and every lesson taught reminded us that knowledge grows when it is shared.
