Adilisha Agenda 2049

STEM Clubs and Labs in Every Tanzanian School

Vision and Goal

Empowering young Tanzanians especially girls—by expanding STEM access. By 2049, our goal is STEM clubs and labs in all 3,904 government secondary schools, shaping the future workforce and tackling poverty, gender inequality, and tech advancement.

Equip all government secondary schools with fully functioning STEM clubs by 2030 and STEM labs by 2049.

Why STEM? The Case for Action in Tanzania

There is a significant gender gap in STEM fields in Tanzania, with only 25% of students pursuing these subjects being girls. Rural schools face additional challenges as they often lack adequate resources for science and technology education, which only further widens educational inequality. As Tanzania works to strengthen its position in the digital economy and the global marketplace, the country urgently needs a STEM-literate workforce to ensure its youth are equipped for future opportunities.

Our Approach

Building STEM clubs and labs will foster problem-solving skills, creativity, and innovation in students, giving them the tools to contribute to national development and global challenges.

Investment in STEM education will uplift entire communities by preparing youth for careers in high-demand fields.
