Our Team will visit Kajiado Kenya in July 2024, to implement the project: Teach Girls Science for Free. This 2-week project will engage JOEF team members with secondary school girls of Tembea Girls Academy, Kajiado Kenya, teaching them science subjects to enhance their knowledge in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics.
JOEF partners with the Sierra Leone Women Engineers (SLWE) and the Saint Augustine Agricultural Secondary School, Lungi to implement the project titled: Using Information Technology Tools as a Platform for Communicating Engineering Projects. The event sponsored by US based Engineering Information Foundation (EiF) took place from 26th to 30th of September 2023. Girls were able to create prototypes of towers and different shapes of buildings using cardboard sheets, they were also able to create electric table fans. They were able to use software tools such as Clipchamp, Capcut, etc to create narrative videos of their works. It was all fun during the entire event and the girls were very excited.

In March 2021, JOEF executed a project titled “Traversing the Challenges Encountered by Women Engineers in the Workplace” which took place at the Technical University of Mombasa, Kenya and the University of Lagos, Nigeria. At least 150 girls were impacted through this project. Women engineering professionals and mentors from different fields of engineering were present to educate the girls and share their experiences with them. Girls were advised on how to deal with work pressure and succeed in a profession dominated by men. It was an inspiring event and girls had fun during all sections.
