Powering Potential uses technology to improve education and employment for youth in developing countries.
Our programs provide schools with solar-power, computer labs, digitized learning materials, and digital skills training in areas with limited access to the national grid. With improved learning and technology literacy, students are better prepared to pursue higher education, secure employment, and build a brighter future.

As participation in the global economy increasingly requires digital literacy, it is more important than ever for students in developing countries to have access to digital information to improve their lives.
“If real development is to take place, the people have to be involved” – Julius Nyerere, the father of Tanzania
Our counterpart organization in Tanzania is the Potential Enhancement Foundation (PEF), an Energy Globe World Award finalist in 2019.
PEF collaborates with the Tanzanian government to install, maintain and expand our computer programs across the country.
With improved learning and technology literacy, students are better prepared to secure employment, continue higher education and become productive global citizens.

“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.”
