STEMReach Buea Town is a powerful example of how Data Girl Technologies, widely recognized as one of the best tech training institutes in Cameroon, is transforming lives through STEM education and empowering women in tech. In Buea Town, the STEMReach project went beyond teaching skills, it helped women rediscover confidence, economic power, and a renewed sense of purpose.
At the heart of STEMReach Buea Town are women who are already active in different trades and businesses. For these women, gaining basic tech training was not about changing who they are, but about adding value to their existing work and opening new doors for growth in the digital economy.
Empowering Women in Tech, One Story at a Time in Buea Town
One of the women we encountered during STEMReach Buea Town is a married woman facing serious marital challenges.

Through Data Girl Technologies’ STEM education program, she learned practical digital skills that strengthened her sense of independence and self-worth.
For her, women in STEM is not a trend, it is a lifeline. Learning tech skills gave her the confidence to contribute economically, make informed decisions, and rebuild her personal identity. Her story reflects why empowering women in tech is essential for stronger families and communities.
Women in STEM Education, Susan’s Journey of Renewal
Another inspiring participant from STEMReach Buea Town is Susan, a woman who had been out of school for many years. Despite her experience in business, she felt limited by her lack of digital skills. Through tech training provided by Data Girl Technologies, Susan learned a new digital skill that immediately positioned her ahead of her competitors.
Susan’s journey highlights the importance of STEM education for women who may have missed formal schooling but still have the drive to grow. Today, she is better equipped to run her business efficiently, reach new customers, and compete in a technology-driven market.
Girls and Women in Tech, Adding Digital Skills to Everyday Trades
What made STEMReach Buea Town unique is that most participants were already engaged in one trade or another. From small-scale business owners to artisans, these women discovered that tech skills are powerful tools that complement their existing work.
Through women-focused tech training, Data Girl Technologies demonstrated that women in tech do not have to abandon their current paths. Instead, STEM education becomes an add-on that increases productivity, visibility, and income.
From Training to Economic Power, Scholarships That Changed Lives
Following the training, Data Girl Technologies awarded scholarships to two outstanding women who showed strong interest in advancing their careers in tech. They were trained as graphic designers and are now working as freelancers, building sustainable income and economic independence.
This is the impact of empowering women in STEM, moving from training to real economic transformation.
