Third World Organization for Women in Science

Third World Organization for Women in Science

Third World Organization for Women in Science (TWOWS) awards fellowships in science to female postgraduate students from third world nations. Because of the lower cost of living and tuition, however, the student recipients are sent to good universities in countries such as South Africa and Pakistan.

Its president, Lydia Makhubu, encourages young girls to start at the earliest level — primary school — in order to be ready to embark on a career in science.
