Mission:

We are an organization with a mission to encourage and inspire STEM education among African women. We hope to bridge the gap between male and female African scientists as the continent marches forward in achieving a “developed continent” status.

Vision:

Beyond our summer research academies, we envision graduates of the program going on to serve as ambassadors and mentors to future participants.

Organize workshops at various high schools in our host African countries to expose female students to careers in science and research.

Our goal is to have a life long relationship with students who pass through the program by connecting them with established women in science both here in the U.S and in Africa who will nurture, guide, encourage and monitor them in both their academic journey and career goals.

Establish a mentor/mentee program here in the United States, where we will pair students here in the states and in Ghana with high school students who are interested in scientific fields. Through this program, we hope to help guide them towards a career path in STEM.

Form strategic partnerships with research institutes and undergraduate institutions both local and overseas to host our participants for a summer internship research opportunity.
