Addressing gender digital divide is crucial to ensuring sustainability of women’s livelihood, empowerment and education as over 300 million fewer women access the internet in low-and-middle-income countries than men and according to Council of Foreign Relations, closing the gender gap in the workforce could add a staggering $28 trillion to the global gross domestic product GDP by 2025 if women participated in the economy to the same extent as men. While numerous organization have constantly tried to bridge these gap, availability of infrastructure, financial constraints, interest and perceived relevance of digital technologies, and socio-cultural and institutional contexts, among other factors remains constant barriers to digital equality. This divide has persisted and is in fact widening in Africa. By creating a credit based platform that provides women with resources to become retailers,we uses technology to create a multi level bonus system to empower women in garment retailing and production

By creating a credit/reward based platform that provides women with resources to become retailers on our garment making outfits; Tanim Fits uses technology to create a multi level bonus system to empower women in garment retailing and production by providing the necessary tools to access the market. We pride ourselves as local entity leveraging on technology for efficiency there by increasing sales and reducing cost. We use binary algorithm to on board our retailer (mainly women) and other analytic to monitor their consumer pattern that gives us a clear understanding of their behaviour, we provide them with online tutorials on how to maximize their digital lifestyle with just a mobile phone, thereby limiting close contact with the outside world. We  provide a bootstrap funds to initiate the financial freedom, this also keys into our need to  infrastructural availability. Our web application is at the core of our new strategy, it position us to be more efficient, reach more women quickly and manage them more efficiently, hence the success of the web applications implementation, architecture and evolution  is at the core of the success of our new strategy.

Our main aim is to digitally educate and empower  1% of the global 300 million fewer women who have limited access to a digitally enabled economy by the  year 2040, increase GDP of their associated economy by about 9%, but most especially reduce the 40 million Nigerian women living below the poverty line by 2% by leveraging  on digital education. We understand that genuine interest and perceived relevance of digital technologies, availability of infrastructure, socio-cultural and institutional contexts as  women always ask how these technology benefits them and always wants to see the relevance in their lives especially putting food on the table, that is why  by integrating a reward based retailing system with technology we can empower more women as garment retailers and provide them with tools that would increase their digital lifestyle for them to be more efficient, providing women with bootstrap funds only usable on our platform, we make sure digitally less privileged women are captured in the framework

Digital education is one of the most cost effective and efficient means of empowerment, http://retial.tfits.online which focuses majorly on the engaging women is positioned to empower women with digital skills to be smart working entrepreneurs, rather than hard working entrepreneurs and also provides them with the relevant resources to acquire garments manufactured by us by retailers to sharpen their entrepreneurial skill

tfits.online is a series of web applications that  properly allows us to manage our stakeholders in the garment making industry. Each sub domain targets a specific gender/market/stakeholder. First we use technology to acquire necessary data, making it less expensive, reaching more audience, providing proper administration and proper analysis of the data acquired. By creating a differential model between previous data and available data, we can scientifically define positions of strengths, weaknesses opportunities and threat, hence more analysis is achievable once our data is structured

Addressing gender digital divide is crucial to ensuring sustainability of women’s livelihood, women’s empowerment and education as over 300 million fewer women access the internet in low-and-middle-income countries than men and according to Council of Foreign Relations, closing the gender gap in the workforce could add a staggering $28 trillion to the global gross domestic product GDP by 2025 if women participated in the economy to the same extent as men. While numerous organization have constantly tried to bridge these gap, availability of infrastructure, financial constraints, interest and perceived relevance of digital technologies, and socio-cultural and institutional contexts, among other factors remains constant barriers to digital equality. This divide has persisted and is in fact widening in Africa where the woman is represented as a piece of property whose opinion is subject to a mans’ confirmation, she is assumed fragile, unintelligent and feeble, she is entitled to nothing and is only relevant to the care for the man , husband and children. In some parts of Africa, a woman is restricted to engage in some specific social gathering, especially events related to the opposite sex, be it for financial benefits, psychological well being or even simple conversations. These sentiments occur at work, social and religious gathering, which reduces the chances of women gaining knowledge, being empowered or attaining a certain level of financial status or independence, we believe the African woman can overcome these cultural and societal sentiment by embracing a digital lifestyle, but before that can occur the aforementioned barriers need to be taken into consideration and worked around. In a quest to reduce this gap, we believe the woman must be financially, mentally and socially stable, must show interest to what ever program introduced (program must be relevant to her), must be engaged in developmental activity or program, and must be able to relate to events she is engaged to (program must communicate to her cultural bias).

Our aim is to onboard and digitally empower 500 women in 1 year

Our main aim is to digitally educate and empower  1% of the global 300 million fewer women who have limited access to a digitally enabled economy by the  year 2040, increase GDP of their associated economy by about 9%, but most especially reduce the 40 million Nigerian women living below the poverty line by 2%, by engaging them through garment reward based garment retailing system on our web application. But we are focused on engaging the first 500 in Nigeria in the next one year 

•  Interest and perceived relevance of digital technologies (women always ask how these technology benefits them and always wants to see the relevance in their lives especially putting food on the table)
• Availability of infrastructure (Availability of mobile phone and internet access disrupts the efficacy of the program)
• Socio-cultural and institutional contexts(In some parts of Africa, a woman is restricted to engage in some specific social gathering, especially events related to the opposite sex, be it for financial benefits, psychological well being or even simple conversations)
• Access to finance
• Government Policy

• By integrating a reward based retailing system with technology we can empower more women as garment retailers and provide them with tools that would increase their digital lifestyle for them to be more efficient 
• By Providing them with bootstrap funds only usable on our platform, we make sure digitally less privileged women are captured in the framework
• In northern part of Nigeria, physical contact with the opposite sex is highly prohibited. Using digital alternative means of communication  can reduce the contact and still honor the tradition, our web application provides educational resources for women to achieve this, it also provides alternative e-commerce alternatives

We bring our wealth of experience into the organization

Ajayi Stella: She has been managing projects for about 8 years with experience in oil & gas sector, and ICT, i have been working with women for about 3 years and realized women are the nucleus of every family and hence the environment, asides that they are more committed to a course( if given the opportunity), more productive , good managers and above all more empathetic but they tend to be at the receiving end of any environment decay. With the aim of building “Strong Woman Strong Africa”, we believe a digitally enlightened woman provides a more smoother, less conflicting and less contradicting way to get there. Hence bridging the digital divide between both sexes is crucial to such development

Affordability has always been a watch ward when it comes to dressing up in Nigeria, as everyone wants to look good but not at a very high cost. TANIM FITS as an organization produces garment based on specification in large quantities and at a reduced cost, by so doing we beat the demand of imported and alternative cloths. In a bid to increase our distribution network and also touch lives, we have moved the conventional model of engaging vulnerable woman to a technology driven model, by using a web application to manage them successfully via online registration, online acquisition and payment, support and grievance system but most importantly is the videos available at their disposal to learn how to utilize social media to sell what ever they acquire on our platform. Beyond all these we will make available resources to digital empower women by providing them with smartphones to access our site, provided they do not already have 

Aside grants, investments and other forms of financial seed, our main growth would rely on the sales of our product manufactured which is the garments we produce

With our aim to reach 3 million women by 2040, we know its is a huge task for a small team like ours, leaning on the shoulders of people before us and more experienced than us could help us make the right decision at the right time

We would love to partner with telecommunication organization so that our application can be accessible with limited or low data, in such a way that the amount of data required to access and acquire digital skills by the retailer(women) would not eat into their pocket and be cost effective
