This year Afro-Tech Girls set out to raise the sum of $5,000 towards a scholarship fund for female STEM undergraduates. Our goal is to be able to award over 20 recipients funds towards the completion of their education, acquisition of the tools such as laptops and access to power and data.
This is a follow up from the Afro-Tech Girls Project 100 for 20 scholarship in which we raised N100,000 NGN (~$250) for 20 girls. That project provided funds for 20 ladies across Nigeria in 2024. We will be continuing on in our drive to support the increase of the pipeline of female STEM graduates across Nigeria reaching at least 30 well deserving girls in 2025 by raising $5,000.
As it stands we have $4,954 deficit which means we are quite far from our goal. We acknowledge the $46 donation made by our first donor on the project and hope to get more.
As we race to our target this year we are excited about being able to give hope to young women in STEM making the world a better place one laptop at a time.
Thank you.
