“The scholarship will provide technical support to young girls. In addition to this, we will mentor them and make sure that those that will progress to the next level are given an opportunity to work with Vodafone Ghana. This is our way to sustainably groom the younger ones into the working space. It’s not that we are just picking them anyhow or anywhere but we are making sure their knowledge in STEM is well groomed”.

 

Reverend Perbi added, “We are also able to guide them so that they don’t just make choices but they are able to be accountable for their choices. The STEM programme has really come to groom the entire Ghanaian population and it is worth participating”.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on 11 February, is implemented by UNESCO in collaboration institutions and civil society partners that aim to promote women and girls in science. This Day is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. Gender equality is a global priority for UNESCO, and the support of young girls, their education and their full ability to make their ideas heard are levers for development and peace.
