Fatimah Chifungo
Student Chapter Representative & Intern
Fatimah is an engineering student at the University of Zambia. She is an innovative thinker who has a passion for project management and has an interest in the implementation of drone technology in land planning and development. She is one of the most consistent members of the Zambia Flying Labs and her participation has been integral in the successful organization of many events for the student chapter including the recent Chunga dumpsite project. Fatimah is a good example to all and she is an inspiration to many of her peers. She also serves as a symbol of diversity in Zambia Flying Labs as she has shown that being both female and a devout Muslim is not a barrier if one wants to progress in scientific and technological education.
Fatimah is currently under the tutelage and mentorship of Mr. Kelvin. A. Lungu and Mr. Chitula Lukonde in drones for social and commercial good, and STEM education.
