Last month, Nezha Larhrissi achieved a goal five years in the making.
The nonprofit she co-founded, eSTEM Morocco, launched a long-awaited mentoring and skill-building platform for girls eight-to-18 in Morocco, where young women frequently drop out of the workforce to marry and care for children.
Named Titrit, which means 'shining star' in the local Amazigh language, the website and app provide training on interpersonal, entrepreneurial, and STEM skills. The girls then partner with female business owners, where they use their digital knowledge to help those entrepreneurs succeed.
