Abstract	The project “Empowering Girls in STEM and Beyond” is a school-based intervention designed to strengthen STEM engagement among adolescentgirls while addressing socio-economic constraints through parallel women empowerment initiatives. Implemented through an integrated model, theprogram combines experiential STEM learning,infrastructure enhancement, volunteer engagement, and exposure to competitive platforms with vocational skill development for mothers. Over the course of implementation, 106 mothers were trained in tailoring, beauty services, baking, and computer literacy to promote financial independence and educational sustainability within households. The initiative seeks to create a supportive ecosystem that enhances girls’ academic progression while strengthening family-level economic resilience. Preliminary observations indicate improved participation in STEM activities, increased exposure to national-level platforms, and strengthened community involvement. The model demonstrates the potential of combining educational enrichment with economic empowerment to promote long-term educational continuity for girls
