Every Girl Connect 2.0 (Everygirl) is a program that stems from the Kalil Suleiman Halilu Foundation (KSH Foundation) flagship initiative, EveryGirl. Its main objective is to increase the representation of young females in the technology industry. However, Girl Connect specifically focuses on enhancing internet connectivity for young women aged 17-21 in underserved communities, with the aim of bridging the gender digital divide.
