Over 390 teen mothers graduate in plumbing, food and beverage production from Kakamega Polytechnic

A total of 391 girls have today graduated from Kakamega County Polytechnic after successfully completing courses in Plumbing and Pipefitting, and Food and Beverage Production. Many of the graduates are teen mothers and girls from underprivileged backgrounds who benefited from the STEM Education for Empowerment Programme (STEEP), an initiative aimed at breaking gender stereotypes that have traditionally limited girls’ participation in STEM-related courses and locked them out of well-paying career opportunities.
