GEN4STEM – GENder & GENeration for STEM
Empowering the next generation of women scientists and engineers!
Africa has the youngest population in the world that can be viewed as a powerful lever of development. According to Unesco, “more than 56 million young people between 15 and 24 years old – one over three young persons – have not completed primary school and do not have basic skills to get a job” (2011). Access to education and skills gaps are a crucial problem in Africa, especially for women. The higher we go, the harder we find young girls and women. In that way, the World Bank reported that in Subsaharan Africa, only 1 girl over 10 gets to university in 2020.
This is why we designed and launched GEN4STEM, our 6-month online program (in English & French) addressing the gender gap in STEM to:
- Support young girls’ academic and career orientation in STEM
- Offer mentoring
- Provide skills development
- Network with high-powered role models.
- We are proud to operate in 21 countries across Africa, empowering girls to excel in STEM fields.
The program is endorsed by the Climate Chance’s Cartography for Action !
