A54: In part-two of our African Women in Technology series, we feature Regina Honu, a Ghanaian social entrepreneur, software developer, and founder of Soronko academy, the first coding and human-centered design school for children, young adults and women in west Africa. Honu is a former YALI fellow, who used her grant money to help the community. Her academy has trained over 4500 women and girls coding. Africa 54 tech reporter Paul Ndiho caught up with her in Accra.
