Every year, on 8th March
the world honor's women.
By recognising and celebrating their milestones despite the cultural and societal biases.

According to UN Women, when women receive the same support as men, results increase by 20-30%.

As we celebrate their achievements so far, we asked ourselves…
What if we showed young girls that they could be anything they wanted to be?
In Kenya, only 41.5% of women were using the Internet in 2022 compared to 51.4% of men according to Communications Authority of Kenya.
Kenyan women make up for only 23% of the total workforce in the tech industry according to the world wide web.

In 2023 women’s day under the UN theme DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.
Unga wa Dola a flagship and household brand of Kitui flour mills, voted as one of the top 100 Kenyan brands loved by women in 2022, we needed to bridge the gap even further.
By Nurturing, educating and inspiring women through the power of their affirmations.
Unga wa Dola presents
