She later joined the Digital Marketing and E-commerce program, where she deepened her expertise in SEO, social media strategy, and graphic design. By the end of her training, she had built a personal portfolio and designed a mockup website for an NGO projects that helped her secure her first freelance clients.

 “Pwani Teknowgalz gave me more than technical skills; it gave me confidence to pursue my ideas and turn them into something impactful, “Tech has given me the power to create solutions that matter. I want more girls to see themselves in this space and build something meaningful,” she says.

ShujaaCare — Tech for Social Good

It was during a hackathon organized by Pwani Teknowgalz that Trizah co-created ShujaaCare, a digital health platform aimed at increasing access to reproductive and mental health information for young people. The platform was developed under the SheCodeHerCare initiative, where women technologists came together to design digital solutions addressing real community challenges.
