Using a triangular cooperation model, led by Humber College (HC), and facilitated by two southern implementing partners: CAP Youth Empowerment Institute [CAPYEI] – Kenya and Hahujobs [formerly Ahadootec] – Ethiopia, the four-year STEEP project will enhance Gender Equality (GE) and empowerment of Adolescent Girls (AG) (aged 13-18) from targeted marginalized communities in the regions of Kisumu (Kenya) and Tigray (Ethiopia).
The project goal will be achieved through increased equitable participation of AG in gender-responsive STEM education and training, including supporting AG to transition to STEM studies at the post-secondary educational (PSE) level, and into STEM employment.
The ultimate outcome (UO) of STEEP is enhanced gender equality and empowerment of adolescent girls, aged 13-18, from marginalized communities in Kisumu County in Kenya and Tigray region in Ethiopia
The direct beneficiaries of STEEP are 34,890 AG from marginalized communities in Kisumu (including towns in Nyalenda, Kisumu, Kakamega, Kisii, Homa Bay, and Siaya) and in the South East zone in Tigray (Mekelle, Alamata, Endamehoni, and Ofla).
