Transforming Education with Technology in Tanzania

Africa Exchange Project continues to work to improve the availability and use of computers and digital learning and healthcare in Pomerini, Tanzania.

In March 2026, we provided funds for the purchase of 5 laptops and a projector for Pomerini Primary School, and funded digital training for 12 Primary School teachers, including the Special Education Unit.

In April 2026, we provided funds for the purchase of 5 laptops and a projector for Pomerini Secondary School, and funded digital training for 12 Secondary School teachers.

The trainings are designed to help the teachers to integrate digital tools into their classes in order to support inclusive learning for all students and to equip the teachers with the digital skills they need to make the most use of the technology.

This brings the total number of computers we have provided the schools with to 21.

We are still seeking funds to provide the schools with a further 40 computers, which will ensure more students have access to computers, and an opportunity to learn the digital skills that will be so important to their lives.

We remain committed to further transforming the learning environment for students, increase learning and training opportunities for teachers and health workers, and help to develop the computer skills essential to their future success and their participation in Tanzania's transformation from a predominantly agricultural, rural society to a more diversified modern, multi-sector economy.
