Testimonials

Doreen’s work to empower and inspire girls to follow careers in STEM is the most exciting piece of outreach work that I have encountered. We are incredibly proud of her extraordinary achievement.”
Simon Evans- LangleyHead of school of biosciences, University of Nottingham - United Kingdom.
Being the first experience, it is worthwhile to commend The STEM Belle for putting up a successful boot camp. The sessions with/for the teachers were wonderful, mind reorienting and challenging. I just want to encourage you not to relent as lives are being motivated as you and your teams now have mentees to nurture and look up to you.
Mr Ishola Mathematics Teacher
The 2019 boot camp has been a point of reference for the students. It has changed their orientation about life, the exposure created in them and aspiration for greater heights. However, the education of most of them is not yet sound, hence, they should be encouraged, monitored to study and read very well.
Mr Ishola Mathematics Teacher
On my part as a STEM Belle teacher, I cannot forget the training, it has inspired me and spurred me into action as an effective teacher. Thank you so much for the opportunity to be part of your dream to encourage girls into STEM careers.
Mr Ishola Mathematics Teacher
The operation of The STEM Belle finally gave my students the opportunity to shine, as it was the first time only girls were recognized in an award ceremony and an eye opener for those who did not win.
Miss Adedayo Adenrele Teacher
The boot camp experience exposed them to new experience, leaving home for the first time to be camped with other girls. The skills and knowledge they gained cannot be quantified, they went back home dignified, determined and bent on reaching their greatest potentials.
Miss Adedayo Adenrele Teacher
The STEM Belle has done great things in the lives of girls especially in the local area, they orientated them to think/ project positively what their future would look like in STEM and not end up with unwanted pregnancy.
Mrs Victoria OlaSchool Counsellor
They put students on their toes by giving the girls gifts for academic excellence also, they provide tuition waiver and educational materials for these girls which has helped reduce financial burden on the parents.
Mrs Victoria OlaSchool Counsellor
Being part of The STEM Belle has made me become studious and determined never to give up on my dream. As an ambassador, the STEM Belle gave me a role, to serve as a model to other girls. I love being the ambassador because it will always keep me in check and not relax in my academics, knowing that people are looking up to me.
Amusan Deborah – The STEM Belle AmbassadorCommunity High School, Ido- Ibadan
The STEM Belle is an organization that helps students become inventors and problem solvers. Paying fees in school has been hard before now but through the tuition waivers and books that I got from The STEM Belle for academic awards has made it easy.
Damilola OgunyemiStudent, Baptist Primary School, Abeokuta
Through The STEM Belle, I have found my voice and confidence in class. I usually don’t believe in myself or what I can become, The STEM Belle helped me create my 10 years career plan during the last bootcamp which has kept me going and I believe that I can make it.
Adejayan EstherStudent, Akufo High School, Ibadan
I joined The STEM Belle early this year and it has been an incredible experience. Most of these girls are now very familiar with basic concepts in STEM and are exposed to opportunities in STEM an opportunity I never had in secondary. These girls are more encouraged to pursue their career in STEM as academic excellence in STEM subjects are also rewarded.
Aiyegbeni Favour Victoria Volunteer
I call STEM Belle my family and I have had a lot of experience helping to nurture these girls. I believe that what most of these girls need is the right exposure, encouragement and opportunities and this is one great impact of STEM Belle on this girls.
