Part 2/8:
In a world increasingly defined by the challenges posed by climate change, the intersection of science and gender equity has never been more crucial. The L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women in Science International Awards highlights this need, celebrating exceptional female scientists who make significant contributions to research. Since its inception in 1998, the awards have aimed to promote the motto, “The world needs science, and science needs women.” This year marks the launch of the 15th edition of the Sub-Saharan African Young Talent Program, awarding scholarships to 25 doctoral and five post-doctoral students. Among the recipients is Happiness Ndani, a dedicated researcher from Tanzania, whose work centers on sustainable water access.
