Empowering African women through Design and Tech.
The Female Designer Movement began operations in January 2018, to train women on graphics design. The mission is simple: to expand opportunities for as many women as possible by training and empowering them with graphic design skillsets, and thereby increasing the number of women in Tech. The trainings are 100% free.
From 2018 to date, TFDm has held series of training sessions – in Lagos, Ibadan, Akure, and Monrovia, Liberia, training over 3000 women. The trainings are only the first phase of the process. The trainees are part of the larger TFDm community, where they continually receive support as they grow in Design.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″
