Tuzla was filled with excitement last week as over 200 young women came together for Girls' Day! Kim Kim Yee, Director of USAID BiH's Economic Development Office, opened the event, inspiring participants with words of encouragement. This year, USAID’s #DiasporInvest partnered with the Foundation for Innovation, Technology, and Knowledge Transfer, part of the #DiaLab Network for social impact, to bring in successful women from the Bosnian diaspora. Successful female leaders like Vanja Peters, Dragana Bošković, Tanja Madzarevic and Merana Sadikovic Mandzukic shared their expertise and personal stories virtually, sparking inspiration in the next generation of women in tech. We’re proud to support initiatives like Girls’ Day through the Diaspora Invest, which connects local talent with our global community to foster innovation and create future leaders in STEM.
