Girls2Pioneers Programme aims to inspire and encourage young women and girls, to explore and pursue careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) fields. Since the inception of the programme in 2014, 28,000 over girls have participated in the programme.
Girls between 10 to 20 years old from: Local schools, Religious schools, Home schools, International Schools, Shelters Homes,Community / Grassroot organisations.
