Introduction
In Africa, millions of girls and young women remain trapped in a cycle of poverty—not because they lack potential, but because they lack opportunity. Many were denied the chance to complete school. Others were forced into early marriages, became mothers too soon, or found themselves stuck in low-income or unpaid labor.
They have dreams, but no direction. They see others earning online, building businesses, and gaining global recognition—but they don’t know where to start.
At Newton Academy, we believe it’s not too late. Through Digital Entrepreneurship Training, we are helping underserved girls and women develop the skills and confidence to transform their lives. Our mission is simple: Equip them with relevant digital knowledge so they can build income-generating ventures and become financially independent.
