The awards shines light on the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and advocacy in the STEM industries. The Womandla Foundation is honouring the most inspirational female role models in the industry, rising stars and those who also strive on making a positive difference in their communities.

There are no limits to what innovation in various areas can do and bring to the developing world. We are intentional about harnessing that,” says Sam Gqomo, director of the Womandla Foundation.
The winners will be announced on 27 August. To enter the Womandla Women in STEAM Awards, click here.
