In 2018, we held the first Technology, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship(TIE) Conference, a two-day conference in Herat, Afghanistan, where young female entrepreneurs could have the chance to showcase their business ideas and products to local leaders, potential partners, and members of their communities. These girls have been students of Digital Citizen Fund’s education programs. They have learned digital and financial literacy in a nationally and culturally conservative environment that largely stigmatizes and denies such education to female citizens.
