Planting Seeds of Global Innovation: Why We Support Technovation

At Change Happens Foundation, we believe the future belongs to the bold — to those who ask big questions, imagine daring solutions, and have the courage to build them.

That’s why we’re proud to support Technovation, a global nonprofit empowering girls to become leaders in tech and innovation. Each year, Technovation invites young women from around the world to identify real problems in their communities and solve them through technology — not one day, not someday, but now.

This is not a coding camp. This is a catalyst for change.

Through Technovation’s programs, girls aged 8 to 18 are learning to code mobile apps, analyze environmental data, harness AI, and most importantly, to trust their voice. They’re developing skills in leadership, collaboration, and entrepreneurship — building not only tech, but also confidence, community, and a sense of agency.

And the impact is measurable. Alumni of Technovation go on to study engineering, start companies, launch nonprofits, and lead in spaces where women — especially young women of color — have too often been underrepresented or underestimated.

We’re particularly inspired by the program’s reach into places where opportunity is often scarce — rural villages, refugee camps, underserved school districts. In every corner of the globe, Technovation is demonstrating that talent is universal, even when access is not.

This is what systems change looks like.

Supporting Technovation isn’t just a grant. It’s a statement of belief — that innovation should be inclusive, that leadership should be diverse, and that the next great breakthroughs may very well come from a 14-year-old girl with a cracked phone and an idea that won’t quit.

As a foundation committed to advancing equity, education, and sustainability, we see in Technovation a living example of what’s possible when you trust the next generation. We’re honored to walk beside them as they code a better world.

Let’s keep planting seeds. Let’s keep building futures. Let’s keep believing in the extraordinary.
