HERSTEM Africa is a groundbreaking initiative under Young Females in STEM, YouthUp Global,
designed to transform the narrative for young African females in STEM. This program champions
innovation, breaks barriers, and builds a future where girls don’t just participate in STEM, they
lead.
We empower young women with the skills, opportunities, and confidence to become trailblazers in
STEM. Through mentorship, hands-on training, and a community that amplifies their voices,
HERSTEM Africa nurtures the next generation of thinkers, creators, and leaders.
Because when we empower her, we empower the world.
