About WIICA

A community of passionate, determined, and forward-thinking African women in technology.

"When women come together, share experiences, and gain access to the right opportunities, they can lead confidently in cloud computing."

Women Innovating in Cloud Africa (WIICA) exists to create a space where African women can learn, connect, grow, and succeed. Our community welcomes women at different stages of their journey - from students and beginners to professionals already building careers in technology.

Our Mission

To empower African women in technology by creating a warm, supportive, and inclusive environment where they can access hands-on training, mentorship, scholarships, professional networks, and real-world opportunities.

Our Vision

A future where African women are celebrated as innovators, builders, and leaders in cloud computing and technology - where diversity, inclusion, and innovation shape the future of the global tech landscape.

How We Work

WIICA is built around care, access, and practical growth. We create spaces where women can ask beginner questions, learn by doing, find mentors, and see themselves represented in technology.

We value consistency over noise, community over competition, and opportunities that lead to real skills, confidence, and career movement.
