Tonga Women in ICT (TWICT) works to empower women, girls, youth, and communities across Tonga through technology, digital skills, innovation, and leadership. We deliver practical programmes, awareness campaigns, and community initiatives that promote safe, inclusive, and meaningful participation in the digital world.
Through partnerships with government agencies, schools, community organizations, development partners, and the private sector, TWICT is helping build a more digitally connected and resilient Tonga.
