MOLEX FOUNDATION AFRICA Calls FOR SUPPORT TO EMPOWER YOUNG GIRLS IN ROBOTICS AND AI.

MOLEX FOUNDATION AFRICA Calls FOR SUPPORT TO EMPOWER YOUNG GIRLS IN ROBOTICS AND AI.


The Molex Foundation Africa has made a passionate appeal to corporate organisations, development partners, philanthropists, government agencies and individuals to support its efforts to equip more young girls across Ghana with practical skills in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).


The Foundation is currently implementing an intensive Robotics and STEM training programme for young girls drawn from various districts across the Central Region, with the ongoing programme being hosted at the University of Cape Coast (UCC).


The initiative is designed to expose the participants to practical technology, robotics, innovation and problem-solving, while inspiring them to pursue careers and opportunities in STEM-related fields.


The programme forms part of Molex Foundation Africa's broader commitment to empowering the next generation of African women with the knowledge, confidence and technological skills required to participate meaningfully in the continent's rapidly evolving digital economy.


According to the Foundation, the initiative is anchored on the belief that every girl deserves an opportunity to discover her potential, access technology and contribute to Africa's technological future.


Speaking to the media, the President of Molex Foundation Africa, Dr. Patrick Essien, appealed to the Government and individuals to partner with the Foundation to expand the programme and reach many more young girls across the country.


Dr. Essien explained that the Foundation's ambition goes beyond conducting a single training programme, stressing that its ultimate objective is to nurture a generation of young women who can harness technology, innovation and creativity to identify and solve real challenges within their communities.


The practical nature of the training is enabling participants to develop essential skills including creativity, teamwork, critical thinking, innovation and problem-solving through hands-on Robotics and STEM activities.


As part of efforts to provide holistic development for the young girls, Dr. Mrs. Joana Akorfa Amuzu, a medical doctor at the 37 Military Hospital and a board member of Molex Foundation Africa, led a mentorship session focused on personal hygiene, determination, confidence and personal development.


Dr. Amuzu also shared her inspiring personal journey with the girls, recounting how she rose from a humble beginning to become a medical doctor.


Her story served as a powerful reminder to the participants that their current circumstances should not define the limits of their ambitions.


She encouraged the girls to remain determined, believe in themselves and develop the confidence to pursue their dreams, regardless of the challenges they may encounter along the way.


The mentorship session complemented the technical training by demonstrating to the girls that success requires not only academic and technical knowledge, but also discipline, self-confidence, resilience and a strong sense of purpose.

Molex Foundation Africa believes that empowering girls with STEM education is not merely an investment in individual careers but a strategic investment in the future of Ghana and Africa.


The Foundation is therefore calling on corporate Ghana, development partners, educational institutions, government agencies, philanthropists and individuals to support its vision through funding, equipment, mentorship, partnerships and other forms of assistance.


With increased support, the Foundation hopes to take its Robotics, AI and STEM programmes to more communities, particularly underserved areas where many talented young girls have limited access to technology and practical STEM education.


The Foundation's message is clear: when girls are given access to technology, knowledge and opportunity, they can become innovators, engineers, scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers capable of transforming their communities.


Molex Foundation Africa is consequently urging stakeholders to join the movement to bridge the gender gap in STEM and help build a future where no girl is left behind in Africa's technological transformation.
