Lady Mekanika

via Rocketboom (the subtitles seem to suggest an old-style male-focused journalism), this story of female mechanics being trained in Nairobi:

The training captures the need to create a pathway for decent employment for young women. to free young women in Kenya from teenage pregnacies, prostitution, domestic violence and illiteracy.

The Lady Mekanika Project has become a talk in the global arena with several media outlets sharing in the early success of our initiative in promoting gender equality and empowerment of women.

This is the beginning of a revolution of femine leadership in Africa. When women dare to dream strive to take on those roles that for along time have been termed masculine. [Source]
