Abstract
This article, published on August 18, 2022, discusses how the Mastercard Foundation partnered with the Mawazo Institute (Kenya) via the MLEx Fellowship to support young East African women pursuing STEM PhDs. This tackles underrepresentation (33.3% researchers are women) and stereotypes. Fellow Pauline Orondo received funding and mentorship for her vital malaria research, advancing knowledge and public health.
