We are STEMpower, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a brighter future across Sub-Saharan Africa by nurturing curiosity, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills in youth through hands-on STEM education.
Every child has the potential to change the world, but far too many young people across Africa lack access to quality science, technology, engineering, and math learning opportunities. That’s why we established a family of 157+ self-sustaining, lab-based STEM Centers where students of all backgrounds can learn by doing, gain mentorship, and build skills that lead to real economic opportunity.
With your support, we can…
- Expand existing STEM Centers to reach even more students
- Provide lab equipment, tools, and safe creative spaces
- Offer entrepreneurship training and digital skills for future careers
- Support science fairs that empower young innovators
- Grow sustainable programming that strengthens communities
To date, STEMpower has helped more than 1,000,000 students participate, supported 17,000+ science fair participants, and helped launch tech start-ups and local SMEs — all driven by youth empowerment and community-led learning.
