Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are globally being used, for rapid development in health, education, economic empowerment and good governance and to build the capacity of different segments in the society. To promote the use of ICTs by youth, numbers of initiatives are being taken at International level and Pakistan need to be part of these efforts. In a similar effort Internatio
nal Telecentre Union [ITU], is celebrating 24th April 2013, as an international day on the subject of ICTs for girls’. On this day speakers and resource persons globally would highlight the importance of building the capacity for young girls to understand and utilization of ICTs, for rapid development especially in rural areas. E-village project was launched as a non for profit initiative by Pakistan Social Association [PSA] a government registered NGO during 2009. This project aims to take the power of ICTs to rural areas and currently this initiative is functional in nearly 50 villages of Pakistan. E-village is a project for economic empowerment of Girls in rural areas of Pakistan by training them in ICTs skills. Under the E-women project we intend to train Twenty Thousand Girls over Pakistan, including AJK and Gilgit Baltistan. Currently Eighteen hundred students are under training. Last year we celebrated ' ICTs for Girls Day ' on 26th April 2013, the attached proposal document includes the last year and recent events highlights. Further details of all events and E-villages Centre, which shows our presence in almost every part of Pakistan, are available in Photo gallery at www.evillage.net.pk
