SWIS EmpowHER Project

The SWIS EmpowHER Project seeks to provide targeted training, mentorship, and networking opportunities to final year female STEM students, preparing them for careers in academia, industry, or entrepreneurship. This initiative aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 4, 8, 9, and 10.

SWIS Africa is excited to offer a research training program by partnering with universities and colleges to build the research communication capacity and confidence of African women in science by equipping them with relevant skills in scientific research presentation, personal branding, and storytelling through digital media.

SWIS High School Project

SWIS Africa in partnership with SabiScholar is excited to provide an empowerment program for the high school students in Nigeria. We will be launching the project at OASOS (Oladipo Alayande School of Science) having received formal permission from the Oyo State Ministry of Education to implement this initiative.

We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.

Katherine Johnson, Mathematician
