Samira BIAB-PHILIPPE

Privilège BAKAMBA

Exaucée Georgia KULE YATIBAMBU
“I am very happy to have won this award because it means so much to me. I worked extremely hard to achieve this. Having it in my hands today means my efforts, and those of my math teacher who supported me up to the final, were not in vain. I thank the association LE YAYA for thinking of Congolese young women, and I encourage all girls to pursue science because often, girls and boys tend to think that sciences are only for boys, when in reality, we girls are just as capable.”

“As parents, we can only thank the association LE YAYA for its commitment to developing the potential of our youth. To other parents: encourage your children to participate in this competition, which can be a springboard for developing their skills and for building a network of future women leaders.”
