Let’s Celebrate International Women’s Day 2024 With Hopscotch Africa

International Women's Day is a reminder of the importance of spotlighting and celebrating trailblazing African women scientists who are excelling in various science fields. On a continent where young girls are still discouraged from embracing scientific careers, it is crucial for Hopscotch Africa to support key initiatives that recognize the excellence of young African talents, bearers of innovative approaches and solutions for the continent's sustainable development.

Hopscotch Africa was honored to support Foundation L'Oréal-UNESCO in organizing the prestigious For Women in Science (FWIS) initiative in Botswana, which is dedicated to advancing women's contributions in the field of science. FWIS has been a beacon of inspiration for women scientists worldwide, providing recognition, mentorship, and financial support to exceptional female researchers who have made outstanding contributions to their respective scientific disciplines.

Hopscotch Africa is proud to be the driving force behind the organization of both events. Our dedicated team has been working tirelessly to ensure that the FWIS initiative in Botswana becomes an unforgettable experience for all attendees, with meticulous planning, logistics, and support.

Together, we can break down barriers, shatter glass ceilings, and create a brighter, more inclusive future for women in science throughout Africa.
