Breaking Barriers: Empowering Girls Through STEM Education
In Baringo County, where girls are often told that science and technology are "for boys," the Girls in STEM program is rewriting the narrative. We're equipping young women with the skills, confidence, and mentorship they need to thrive in the fastest-growing fields of the 21st century.
What We Do
Our program provides hands-on learning experiences in coding, robotics, web development, and data science. Through weekly workshops, holiday bootcamps, and mentorship from women in tech, we're creating a pipeline of future female engineers, scientists, and innovators.
"Before joining this program, I thought computers were for
people in Nairobi. Now I'm building websites and teaching my
friends. I want to be a software engineer."
- Sarah, 16, STEM Scholar
Key Achievements
The Impact
Since our launch, we've seen a remarkable transformation. Girls who once doubted their abilities are now leading tech clubs in their schools. Parents who were skeptical about STEM careers are now our biggest advocates. And communities that never saw a female engineer are beginning to believe in new possibilities.
"When you show a girl what's possible, she doesn't just change her own future — she changes her entire community's perception of what girls can achieve."
- Gladys Jerop Sawe, Founder
