Avi-STEM Camps

Background

According to UNESCO, Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for about 28% of women in STEM careers. Having the highest portion of female graduates in Sub-Saharan Africa at 32%, and even more female ICT graduates, at 38%, according to a recent report. The economic and social prosperity of Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries depends on the state of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Yet, women and girls continue to be underrepresented in the STEM field.

Globally, in 2020, a mere 5% of pilots were women, and a tiny 1.42% of all captains were female, according to statistics from the International Society of Women Airline Pilots.

That is exactly where ALA comes in; we are a pool of professionals in diverse Aviation & STEM sectors who want to support Sub-Saharan’s vulnerable females, so we turn the statistics of Africa’s involvement in Aviation & STEM-related innovations and work. Through our programs, we address the issues our communities have; lack of basic access to information on the Aviation & STEM field and quality education.
