In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day's theme, "Enhanced by Engineering," we're honored to share the story of five exceptional female engineers from TYLin, Introba, and Dar who embarked on a mission to bring hope and opportunity to a community in Rwanda. ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gueTXuWt Myriam ZOGHBY, Alekhya Dontham, Mary Anne Schmitt Speidel, P.E., Dahria Uwamahoro , E.I., M.Eng, and Nikolette Mazzuola, EIT from our Bridges to Prosperity project brought diverse strengths – from meticulous planning to a unique spirit of collaboration. In Rwanda, they challenged stereotypes, showcasing how women excel in every aspect of engineering. They inspire us to fight for gender equality in #STEM. Their message is clear: believe in yourself, your voice matters, and together, we can build a brighter future!
