The Akili STEMarts Academy
Through our Akili STEMarts Academy we promote gender equality in education by supporting both boys and girls to improve and grow interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics by engaging them in practical STEM fields which historically have been male dominated.
Our mission
We have a mission to alleviate poverty among marginalized girls and communities in Kenya through an integrated and coordinated approach that addresses holistic education, health, economic empowerment and life skills education to provide beneficiaries the agency to make sustainable changes for self-sufficiency.
We then hope to inspire rural girls to take up STEM careers in order to reduce the gender and skills gap in STEM, increase employment of women and spur economic growth.

Ways to get involved
Donate to our fundraising campaigns on GlobalGiving
GlobalGiving is a nonprofit that supports other nonprofits by connecting them to donors and companies. Since 2002, they’ve helped trusted, community-led organizations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe (and hundreds of places in between) access the tools, training, and support they need to make our world a better place.
GlobalGiving also runs matching campaigns, allowing grassroots organizations like ROF to partner with its supporters to raise more funds to support our programs. The funds raised are regularly sent to ROF’s account in Kenya.
