KURAMATHI MARKS INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN & GIRLS IN SCIENCE
The advancement of the United Nations' stated development goals depends on gender equality in science. Kuramathi Maldives joins the campaign to promote female representation in science among the younger generation on this International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
The Maldives Marine Research Institute, the Maldives Manta Ray Project, the Olive Ridley Project, the Salted Ventures Swimmers, the Men of Water diving center, the Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC), and the Maldives Airports Company Ltd. (MACL) are just a few of the institutions Kuramathi will highlight in an exhibit at the Eco Center on February 10.
The main event on February 11th will feature a career discussion to encourage women and girls to choose careers in science. Female role models from the various Maldivian organizations will share their perspectives on their work and accomplishments with invited schoolchildren from the adjacent islands. This workshop, which attempts to create a window for the young participants to learn about the many career choices available to them in the science sector, is persuasive and motivating.
Community building is embedded in Kuramathi's sustainable methods through working with nearby islands to assist their livelihoods, reach out to the community through education, and develop local talent.
