Linah Anyango

Last month, 2019 fellow Linah Anyango was a featured speaker at
the East Africa Women in Energy Conference, sharing her experience
transitioning from school to the job market. The conference was
organized by Women in Energy Awards, an annual conference and
awards ceremony that brings together women in the energy sector
to share best practices and discuss the latest innovations within the
energy field.
Linah is a teacher and the head of the science department at a

on how to teach effectively with technology. During her session, she
discussed the role women in energy can play in mentoring young
girls and encouraging them to enter STEM fields. She shared stories about the girls she mentors at her school’s Girls in STEM club, highlighting the work they’ve done to create clean energy solutions from waste products.​
