OUR MISSION
To increase access to life-transforming science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and experiential learning opportunities for African girls and young women from underserved communities.
We view our mission as critical to closing the gender gap in the STEM fields, while ensuring that more girls and women acquire in-demand technical skills that make them problem solvers, employable or innovative entrepreneurs, and financially independent.
OUR VISION
Thriving African countries where women have equitable access to educational and employment opportunities, and where they contribute to sustainable development.
OUR Passion
We are motivated by our understanding of the challenges facing many African countries, as well as the numerous opportunities to overcome these using knowledge derived from the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields.
We believe in Africa’s long-term transformation through effective leadership by the continent’s highly educated next generation who will lead economically significant innovation.
We believe in the potential of Africa’s marginalized youth, and are especially passionate about bridging the gender gap by empowering high-potential girls and young women.
We believe that with the right education, mentoring, and exposure, our prodigies can become change agents in their respective fields and communities. We believe that the success of our “mentees” will create a positive multiplier effect.
