Women Mobilize Women

The Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) supports women in the transport sector by addressing the need to involve women and empower change-makers in the mobility and transport sector to cater to women needs. The Women mobilize women initiative serves as a network and information hub that strongly influences the international debate on the role and potential of women in the mobility sector.

I was humbled to have been selected as one of the fifteen #ElectricWomen working in the field of Electric Mobility for TUMI and Women Mobilize Women’s annual remarkable women publication, 2022. The scope of women selected in this publication ranges from engineers, activists, journalists, and researchers; all serving as role models for future generations of young women entering the transportation sector. Check out the publication to hear about all the Remarkable women within E-Mobility. These are some of their stories from the publication.

This can be seen in Rwanda’s energy sector, which has le

How to prepare for registration from GE to PE with the Engineers Board of Kenya

The process can be daunting. Previously, it has been deemed nearly impossible to achieve. However lately, there are various opportunities to obtain mentorship that further supports candidates in preparation of reports required for registration. We shall discuss these mentorship opportunities later. There are two main bodies that govern the registration process in Kenya, EBK and IEK. What is the difference between EBK and IEK? Engineers Board of Kenya ( EBK ) The Engineers Board of Kenya is a statutory body established by the Engineers Act 2011. The Board is responsible for registration of engineers and firms, regulation of engineering professional services, setting of standards, development and general practice of engineering in Kenya
