If you are a woman and want to learn programming and how to build websites, we have exciting news for you! Django Girls Bujumbura is organizing a free one-day programming workshop for beginners.
The workshop will take place on 18 July 2026 at Bujumbura International University (BIU) in Bujumbura, Burundi.
Django Girls is an international initiative that empowers women and girls through technology by introducing them to programming in a friendly, supportive, and beginner-focused environment.
During the workshop, participants will learn the basics of Python programming, web development, and how to build their first website using Django.
We believe the technology industry becomes stronger and more innovative when more women participate in it. Our mission is to inspire, support, and encourage women to explore careers and opportunities in technology.
The workshop is completely free of charge thanks to the support of mentors, volunteers, and partners.
You can apply for the workshop until 10 July 2026.
If you are a woman, understand English or French, and have access to a laptop, you are welcome to apply for Django Girls Bujumbura 2026.

Do I need to know anything about websites or programming?
No! Workshops are for beginners. You don’t need to know anything about it. However, if you have a little bit of technical knowledge (i.e. you know what HTML or CSS are) you still can apply!
I am not living in Burundi, can I attend?
Of course! Workshops will be in English, so if you have no troubles with speaking and understanding English - you should apply. We are willing to help you!
Should I bring my own laptop?
Yes. We have no hardware, so we expect you to bring your computer with you. It is also important for us that you will take home everything you’ll write and create during workshops.
Do I need to have something installed on my laptop?
It would be helpful to have Django installed before workshops, but wouldn't expect you to install anything on your own.We will make sure that one of our coaches will help you out with this task.
We couldn't be here without the support from amazing people and organizations who donated money, knowledge and time to help us make this a reality. If you want to contribute and support our goal, please get it touch
