If she loves to tinker with old devices or just needs a dumb phone, sure!
If you want them to have a functional smartphone, Android 2 is unfortunately super dead. The only Google service/app still working is Google Maps (you need 6.14, from 2014).
There are no projects to port newer browsers to Android 2, so you will get by with what you can. The last browser to have dropped Android 2 support is Via Browser (4.0.9) around 2020. If a custom ROM to Android 4 is available, you will be able to install the latest version of this browser, but it is still the last browser to still support it.
