“It is unhidden truth that is going to have an immeasurable impact on youth and all the people in rural areas, as they are going to be exposed to the world of technology where they could meet plenty of social, economic, academic and political opportunities. I have trust in the Powering Potential team. I believe it is the team that will be mentioned in the History of Tanzania in coming days.”
Our Mission
Powering Potential uses technology to improve education and employability for youth in developing countries.
Every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves to fulfill their potential as global citizens.
Powering Potential aims to ensure that no one is left behind in the rapidly evolving 21st-century economy.
Our programs provide schools with solar-power, computer labs, digitized learning materials, and digital skills training in areas with limited access to the grid.
With improved learning and technology literacy, students are better prepared to pursue higher education, secure employment, and build a brighter future.
