What They Say

Joining ANWiSTEM has been a game-changer for me. Through mentorship and leadership training, I gained the confidence to pursue my dreams in engineering. The support from this network has pushed me to break barriers and take up space in a male-dominated field. Today, I am a leader, mentor, and advocate for other women in STEM

"Before ANWiSTEM, I often felt isolated as a woman in tech. But this network has given me a home—a place where I connect with like-minded women, share challenges, and celebrate wins. The friendships and collaborations I’ve built here are priceless. ANWiSTEM is more than a community; it’s a sisterhood that uplifts and supports each other every step of the way."

ANWiSTEM has opened doors I never imagined possible. From gaining access to scholarships and research grants to participating in global STEM forums, this network has amplified my impact. Because of ANWiSTEM, I am not just advancing my career through participating in mentorship—I am shaping the future of STEM for young girls in Africa.
