Our Story

The Journey of
Somali Girls in Tech

Gacalo Tech was created with a powerful vision: to empower Somali girls with access to digital skills, mentorship, and meaningful opportunities in technology. What began as a small study group in 2020—led by Somali women who personally understood the barriers in the tech industry—quickly grew into a supportive community where young women could learn, collaborate, and rise together.

As more girls joined, Gacalo Tech evolved into a vibrant network of over 500 members, offering structured programs, hands-on digital training, tech mentorship, and leadership development. With every workshop, event, and shared learning experience, the community strengthened its mission: helping Somali girls unlock their potential and confidently step into the world of technology.

Today, Gacalo Tech stands as a growing movement and an inspiring model for similar initiatives around the world. Rooted in community, purpose, and opportunity, it continues to open doors for the next generation of Somali women in tech.
