Adolescent Gate (AGO) is ready to scale impact.
Investment Rationale
Digital access and skills are increasingly essential for education, employment, civic participation, and access to services. Yet girls, adolescents with disabilities, and young mothers are among the most digitally excluded populations, facing barriers such as limited connectivity, inaccessible platforms, low digital literacy, and heightened online safety risks. This digital divide reinforces existing inequalities and limits participation in modern economies and learning systems.
Investing in digital inclusion ensures that marginalized young people can safely access information, develop relevant skills, and leverage technology for education, livelihoods, and advocacy. Inclusive digital innovation not only expands opportunity but also drives efficiency, scalability, and resilience across all program pillars.
AGO’s Approach
AGO promotes equitable access to technology and digital skills through inclusive, safe, and future-oriented digital solutions.
Digital Literacy and Online Safety
AGO delivers age-appropriate digital literacy training that builds foundational skills in device use, internet navigation, information literacy, and responsible digital citizenship. Online safety education addresses privacy, cyberbullying, exploitation, and consent, equipping girls and young people to engage confidently and safely in digital spaces.
Assistive and Accessible Technologies
We facilitate access to assistive and accessible technologies—including screen readers, captioning tools, adaptive devices, and accessible learning platforms—that enable participation for adolescents with diverse disabilities. AGO prioritizes user-centered design and low-cost, scalable solutions that work in low-resource settings.
Digital Skills for Employment and Learning
AGO supports advanced digital skills development linked to education and employment pathways, such as digital content creation, online learning platforms, basic coding, data skills, and remote work readiness. These skills expand access to income-generating opportunities and lifelong learning, particularly for young mothers and out-of-school youth.
