About 250 million youths in Africa are preparing to enter the workforce with projections that the number would rise to 321 million by 2030
The world is no doubt rapidly evolving into a digital era, with new technologies and technological advancements sweeping across the globe. It has been predicted that by 2030, almost half of the world’s youth will be in Africa, as the number of youths on the African continent will have increased to 42%. This means that the number of young people entering the workforce each year will join millions of others to search for better sources of livelihood.

What our Beneficiaries are saying...
I know what it feels like that you graduate from the University and you are unable to land your dream job. STEMi Makers training gave me a chance to hope, be confident and be employable. Now, I have a better lucrative job, I have a business and I serve as a volunteer to help younger people access the opportunity that STEMi Makers Africa gave me. Thank you!
STEMi Makers of Africa have proven in the last three years how they are about building this younger generation. This organization did not disappoint me. Through the Young Inventors Bootcamp, my kids have accelerated in their thinking pattern, the way they seek ways to create and build beyond my imagination!. I think this is exactly what this young generation needs. The ability to CREATE.
“ I secured my first job in a Technology service company through STEMi Makers Africa in February 2020 (2 years ago) and have kept in touch with the team throughout my career, ensuring to introduce STEMi Makers Africa to my current and former employers. Whether it’s through work experience, volunteering or mentoring opportunities, the feedback from colleagues who have got involved in the various initiatives has always been outstanding.”
We really wish more organizations and communities could key into STEM Because the experiences STEMi Makers Africa has opened us to clearly shows a lot of work needs to be done for Liberia and Africa at large.
" Not all girls have the privilege of learning or getting academic support from women in STEM. I have found fulfillment to give back and serve as a role model on the Project Kuongoza mentoring platform. I look forward to ensuring girls excel and succeed in STEM".
