Australian billionaire donates $100 million to support women in STEM careers

Australian billionaire Robin Khuda has donated $100 million to the University of Sydney to support young women in STEM careers. This is the largest donation in the university's history and aims to create pathways for girls from Western Sydney. The funding will establish a 20-year program with three stages: outreach in high schools, academic support for senior students, and scholarships for university graduates. The initiative seeks to address gender inequality in STEM fields, where women are underrepresented. Khuda, who founded the data center company AirTrunk, aims to empower young women by providing resources, mentorship, and community support. His personal experience in Western Sydney influenced his commitment to this cause.
