At Powering Potential, we're helping build that foundation through solar-powered computer labs, educational resources, and teacher support in rural Tanzania. ☀️

5 schools, 5 solar-powered computer labs! Over the past few months, Kansay, Gyekrum Lambo, Awet, Mong’ola, and Qurus Secondary Schools have joined the Powering Potential community.

From students exploring digital resources to teachers building their skills through hands-on training, it's exciting to see how these labs are becoming part of everyday learning.

A big thank-you to our Tanzanian partners and everyone who helped make this milestone possible! 🇹🇿

For many of us, digital skills have become so much a part of everyday life that it’s easy to forget when we first learned them. A school assignment? Your first email? Researching something you were curious about? Eventually, a job application?

💭 What did learning to use a computer make possible for you?
Tell us in the comments; we’d love to hear!

After years of working with Powering Potential in Peru, educator and educational media specialist Dana Rensi recently traveled to Tanzania, where what was expected to be a few informal conversations turned into teacher trainings at 5 schools!

From discovering that two “broken” projectors simply needed replacement lamps to introducing free tools for science simulations, audio editing, coding, and more, the visit focused on something simple: helping teachers make the most of the technology and resources already available to them.

🫶 A different side of the school day at Gyekrum Lambo Secondary School! After class, students take part in everyday activities that support their school community, from preparing grain for meals to caring for the school grounds. 🌱

Working side by side, students share responsibilities and contribute to the place where they learn. Because learning doesn’t only happen at a desk.
