Forum for African Women in Science and Technology

WAAW introduces new Women of Vision Initiative under the Forum for African Women in Science and Technology (FAWST) program. FAWST is the newest program which will be officially launched by WAAW foundation in December 2010. The mission of FAWST is to increase the number and impact of African women leaders in Science and Technology by creating avenues to network people and organizations from industry, academia and government sectors.

We are African women technologists. We use technology to connect our communities. We create technology to help Africa because we are intelligent, creative and passionate about Africa and about innovation.

We develop ideas and competitive solutions to our problems that impact our lives, our communities and our continent. We are changing the world for women and technology. Together, we are inventing a better future for Africa.

The annual FAWST Conference which will kick off in 2012 is designed to bring the research and career interests of African women in Science and Technology to the forefront. The vision of the Conference is to be the world’s largest gathering of African women in technology.

For our sponsors it will be a premier event to engage with Africa, recruit new talent, promote their organization and inspire their workforce.
