The Awards shines light on the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and advocacy for STEM and recognizes excellence among those who strive to make a positive difference in their communities. This year we have included the ARTS industry to the categories, which demonstrates an exceptional use of arts and innovation in the STEM fields.


“Part of bridging the gender disparity is us taking the opportunity to celebrate women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics who against all odds are making outstanding contributions within their respective fields,” Says Rumbi Maisva, Head of STEAM at the Womandla Foundation.


The Womandla Women in STEAM Award winners will be announced on the morning of 28 August 2021 at the virtual award ceremony.


We encourage every female and organisation across South Africa to put forward their success stories with regards to gender empowerment.

Submit your entry here to be considered for this year’s Womandla Women in STEAM Awards.


This year, the awards will take on a hybrid approach and will take place at the MANCOSA Learning Centre in Cape Town and online.

Sanitary Pad Drive

The mission of the project was to increase outreach to under-served areas; break the silence; and debunk the myths and misconceptions surrounding menstruation. Before the Covid19 pandemic, many girls were supported through school-based interventions.


However, some of these interventions were disrupted due to school closures. Our objective was to digitise the process of sourcing donations and contributions whilst also providing girls with a platform to request sanitary products digitally.


By doing so, we can reach larger numbers through the FemConnect Website support them on an ongoing basis instead of once-off donations. We have just relaunched our website and added features that allow us to go beyond the borders of our communities into a global reach, which could be very beneficial in sourcing donors for our period poverty campaigns.
