The SheSTEAM Rising Star Award celebrates one extraordinary young woman in STEAM each year — and gives her the seed investment to launch or grow her business.

Our 2025 Rising Star is from Ghana. She is determined to transform her skills into a sustainable business — but like most young women entrepreneurs, she lacks access to startup capital.

This is where YOU come in.

Together, we’re raising $1,000 in seed funding to support her training and the launch of her very first venture. This isn’t charity — it’s impact investment. Your contribution helps her build a business that can generate returns for her and her community.

How the Seed Fund Works:

🌱 Farm Investment (6–12 months) → seed money leases land, buys tools, covers farm inputs → crops grown and sold → profits reinvested
🛍 Microbusiness Investment (3–6 months) → small business launched (1st crop)→ cash flow begins in 3 months → profits reinvested

The Ask:

We only need $1,000 total to launch her journey. Will you be one of the first to invest?

“This is not charity — it’s an investment in a young entrepreneur’s future, and in your own financial impact.”
