Transforming Tanzanian schools with Technology

Project Report | Jan 25, 2023
Inspiring Girls and other new projects in Tanzania

By Janet CHAPMAN | Project Leader

I've returned from Tanzania today where we set up projects in 3 more schools in Kigoma and Tabora, so students can use and create digital content for the first time, particularly in science where there is a great shortage of teachers.

We also met African Child Projects and are collorating with them to improve connectivity in the remote rural schools we work with so that they can access online materials, collaborate with other schools and participate in our online webinars with Pixl International and others. 

Similarly we met Femina Hip, who produce a quarterly magazine and online materials about girls empowerment which we will help promote to the schools we support, as well as organise joint webinars. 

Alpha, a teacher at Ikondo and our local rep for Kagera, spoke at the State of the Map Tanzania conference we helped organise about our project where schools map the villages where their students travel from, to demonstrate the need for hostels and prioritise which girls get places. You can see his presentation here. 

Last year we organised a very successful webinar for International Womens' Day called Reach for the Stars, where 4 inspiring Tanzanian women talked about their careers. The recording is here.    We are repeating this event for 2023, in collaboration with the organisation Inspiring Girls, where we are setting up the Tanzanian chapter, so watch this space!

Thank you again for your generosity which allows schools in Tanzania to use technology to support their students' learning, and best wishes for 2023.
