On May 28, 2025, Ngong Road Children Foundation (NRCF) was honored to participate in the InnovateHER STEM TVET Day held at the Toolkit for Skills and Innovation Hub. InnovateHER is an initiative focused on empowering young women in STEM and technical careers through mentorship and support.

The event brought together young women committed to building innovative careers. NRCF showcased youth-led creative skills, including beautifully crafted crocheted garments and accessories, demonstrating how traditional crafts can become profitable businesses.

On the technology side, NRCF’s young innovators demonstrated their knowledge of computer hardware. They showed how damaged computer motherboards can be repurposed into useful items such as educational tools for hardware training and notebook covers. This demonstration promoted eco-friendly thinking by encouraging e-waste management.

By combining technical skills with creativity, NRCF continues to empower and support young women to become innovators and problem solvers, proving that women play a vital role in shaping the future.

This event was a powerful reminder of how young women can excel in STEM and technical careers.
