Martina is the Founder of FutureTechKid, an organisation that increases financial independence in Ghana by teaching young people technology skills to improve their employability.
The initiative runs courses on cloud infrastructure, cyber security, and entrepreneurship. Additionally, it provides participants with soft skills support to improve negotiation and presentation ability.
While attending the Summit in Belfast with Microsoft, Martina was inspired to build stronger partnerships for her organisation. She was also motivated to build partnerships supporting young women in tech, such as with Siemens EmpowerHER and UN Women’s African Girls Can Code Initiative, for which she launched a project to help graduates attend the 2026 Summit.
FutureTechKid has enrolled 36 young people in its year-long programme and connected them with the guidance of 70 mentors. Of these, 17 youth have accessed employment in the tech sector due to their training. In the future, FutureTechKid will expand its programme to three years, and participants who complete the training will receive a certificate.
