"Empowered women empower the nation" isn't just a tagline for us. It’s what we get to witness every single day.

Through our ecosystem, we support girls and women at every step of the engineering and technology pipeline. Having reached over 50,000 girls through our STEM initiatives and pushing toward our goal of inspiring 1 million girls in STEM, we are building the future of African innovation.

When a young woman gets the right tools, mentorship, and platform in engineering, she doesn't just build a career, she solves complex challenges, drives industry innovation, and opens doors for the next generation. That ripple effect is what today is truly about.

Here’s to the incredible future engineers, innovators, and leaders doing the work and shaping the future together.

In partnership with Kumba Iron Ore, we officially ignited the next wave of our Digital Skills Programme in Postmasburg, Northern Cape. Our 12 month digital skills programmes equip NEET females with the indemand CCNA(Cisco Certified Network Associate) qualification, ensuring that young women can compete in tech with the relevant skills and qualification.

We strongly believe that for women to truly thrive in the digital economy, they must be given the right tools and positioned to lead it.

Our newest cohort is diving into the high-growth worlds of Cybersecurity, Datascience, Programming, AI, Cloud Computing, and Networking transforming technical curiosity into career-ready leadership. By bridging the gap between education and industry, we’re opening real-world pathways for young women to own their place in the workforce of tomorrow.

The countdown is on!

This Youth Month, we are welcoming 100 participants to the upcoming GirlEng Technovation Camps, kicking off next week in Johannesburg and, for the very first time, heading to East London this July!

We will dive into Renewable Energy and Sustainability, exploring how young women can drive real-world innovation for a greener future aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through mentorship, hands-on learning, and problem-solving, they will discover exactly how to shape the future of STEM.

We are thrilled welcome this incredible group of future innovators, changemakers, and leaders.

This Youth Day, we are celebrating young women building Africa's future in science, technology, engineering, mining, and manufacturing.

Through our ecosystem, we support them at every single stage. Over 217,900 girls have been reached through our STEM interventions, and more than 800 women have been trained in core digital skills. To date, we have supported over 1,200 visionary founders through our incubator and accelerator programmes, with over $10 million in capital raised.

When young women are given the right tools and platforms, they don't just find a place in the future, they build it.

For 20 years, WomHub and WomEng have been building the women who build Africa. That is our ecosystem approach. That is .

We have worked across 22 African countries, from Ghana to Kenya to Eswatini to Uganda, supporting over 1,200 female founders solving the continent’s biggest problems in science, technology, engineering, mining, and manufacturing.

Through programmes like our Green Accelerator Programme, Training for Green with IYBA-SEED, GirlEng with De Beers, and our partnership with the Royal Academy of Engineering, we are making sure women in STEM have the capital, networks, and opportunities they need to lead.

The results? Over $10 million in capital raised post programme with more than 1,700 jobs created. Three innovation hubs in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and East London where founders build every single day.

We build, we fund and we launch the women building Africa. That is the work we have been doing to a continent.

Happy Africa Day.

This past Saturday, WomEng held the Engineers Connect Fun Run across South Africa 🇿🇦, Botswana 🇧🇼, and Namibia 🇳🇦, bringing together fellows, alumni, and allies for a morning of movement, connection, and community.

Held at WomHub JHB Hub Sandton, Airport Junction Mall in Botswana, and Avis Nature Reserve in Namibia, the event created space for women in engineering to engage beyond formal settings and strengthen the relationships that sustain long-term growth.

What stood out most was the ease with which connections happened. Conversations turned into mentoring moments, alumni reconnected with current fellows, and new relationships formed naturally along the route. The visibility of the event also drew in women who were not initially part of the run, joining out of curiosity and becoming part of the experience. Engineers Connect continues to show that strong professional networks are not only built in offices or conference rooms, but in shared spaces where women can show up fully, connect openly, and move forward together.

To make sure you don’t miss the next event and stay up to date with activities planned for each country, please fill in the form with your updated details, follow us on social media, and if you are an alumni who is not yet part of the alumni group, let us know via DM.

Today is Workers Day, and we want to talk about the ones who make it all happen.

The cheerleaders, the champions, the supporters, the huggers. The people who work tirelessly so that young women can go from an idea to a business, from a classroom to a boardroom.

These are the people who support our young women all the way until they build their businesses along their path to greatness.

So to our team: we see you. We appreciate you. Thank you for helping to make the magic happen.

Happy Workers Day.

This Freedom Day, we reflect on what true economic freedom looks like in South Africa.

For us at WomHub and WomEng, economic freedom means a young girl knowing she can become an engineer. It means a young woman gaining work readiness skills so she can thrive in her first job. It means a woman founder securing the capital to scale her business and hire from her community. It means families eating, communities growing, and dignity multiplying.

When you support women and girls in STEM, you don’t just free one person. You free families. You free communities. You free the economy.
