DrosAfrica Celebrates the Launch of BloSTEMEI -Expanding Our Partnership in STEM Education

We are delighted to announce the launch of the Blossom STEM Education Initiative (BloSTEMEI) , a new non-profit organisation that has grown from our long-standing partnership with Droso4Nigeria.

For years, DrosAfrica has proudly supported Droso4Nigeria in delivering hands-on biology outreach across Nigeria. Today, we celebrate their evolution into BloSTEMEI, an initiative that broadens our shared mission to encompass science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education across Africa.

BloSTEMEI will continue the impactful work started by Droso4Nigeria while expanding into new areas of STEM capacity building, teacher training, and research-driven outreach. Together, we remain committed to nurturing the next generation of African scientists, educators, and innovators through:

• Hands‑on, inquiry‑based learning programmes
• Mentorship and professional development for educators and early‑career researchers
• Research‑driven STEM outreach
• Collaborative projects that link education with real‑world STEM challenges

This exciting new chapter builds on the strong networks, trust, and community relationships developed through years of joint outreach. We look forward to continuing our collaboration and supporting BloSTEMEI as they grow a sustainable, locally‑led ecosystem for STEM education.
