The WordPress community in Uganda is gearing up for an exciting year, starting with the first-ever WordCamp Mukono, happening on March 8th, 2025. This landmark event coincides with International Women’s Day, making it the perfect occasion to celebrate and uplift women in the WordPress space. With the theme focused on inclusivity and empowerment, this WordCamp aims to highlight the contributions of women in the tech industry while inspiring more to take up careers in WordPress and digital innovation.
Why Celebrate Women?
Women continue to play an integral role in shaping the WordPress community in Uganda and beyond. However, like many other tech-related fields, there is still a significant gender gap in participation and leadership. By dedicating this event to celebrating women in WordPress, the organizers hope to:

- Encourage more women to get involved in WordPress development, content creation, and community engagement.
- Foster a more inclusive and supportive tech ecosystem in Uganda.
