ENGAGE Kenya via LinkedIn

The ENGAGE Project (PI: Fitti Weissglas, IGHS) recently celebrated the graduation of 90 young women who completed intensive training in data science across six Kenyan universities, including Meru University of Science and Technology.

This initiative, part of a larger effort funded by Takeda Pharmaceuticals and led by the University of Nairobi (in partnership with UCSF), aims to empower young women from underserved backgrounds by equipping them with essential data science skills to address public health challenges. The graduates’ success highlights the project's commitment to fostering women in STEM and creating impactful solutions for communities in Kenya.
