About AfriTech Fellowship Program
The AfriTech fellowship vision is an equitable society where women are key decision-makers in Africa’s economic growth and digital transformation. Globally, there is profound systemic discrimination against women in science, STEAM majors, and careers, disproportionately creating higher structural unemployment barriers against young women. The fellowship equips fellows with tools to navigate those barriers through leadership development, geospatial technology training, and community building. Diverse and international professionals infuse the program with real-world context, mentorship, and expertise to empower the leaders of tomorrow. To this day, the program has empowered 20 women to become leaders in the community through technology and inclusively leadership training.
