SAWA WANAWAKE TANZANIA

 Equity and quality education in Tanzania pose major challenges in Primary school and secondary school aged children-particularly from the poorest families.   

Most classes in Tanzania are overclouded with around 100-120 children per class.  The pupil-to-qualified-teacher ratio  is 131:1 in public primary schools

An estimated 2,000,000 children between the ages of 7 and 13 years are out-of-school. Almost 70% of children aged 14–17 years are not enrolled in secondary education  compared to 24:1 in private schools. (https://www.unicef.org/tanzani... )

 SAWA Wanawake Tanzania and Faith Medical Tanzania Clinics have worked hard to improve quality and equitable education in Tanzania particularly at Mvomero district. Our organizations have managed to build  7 primary Schools, 6 elementary Schools and 4 girl’s hostel in Morogoro region and  Kasanga Mufindi district.

Our organizations will continue to  work with Tanzanian government to improve education through increase classes and installing computer Lab at Mtamba,Leena,Lusanga and Mvomero Secondary at Morogoro Region.

Problem : Un equitable education

Solution: Quality Equitable digital education for all

In 2007, Tanzania achieved nearly universal access to primary education. However,  enrolment of primary school-aged children has been dropping. An estimated 2,000,000 children  ages of 7 -13 years are out-of-school. Almost 70% of children aged 14–17 years are not enrolled in secondary education while a mere 3.2% are enrolled for the final two years of schooling.

Equity and quality pose major challenges. Primary school children from the poorest families are three times less likely to attend school than those from the wealthiest households. Furthermore, while it is estimated that 7.9% of Tanzanians are living with a disability, less than 1% of children in pre-primary, primary and secondary school have a disability. 

 Poor quality of education dampens children’s prospects of a productive future. .https://www.unicef.org/tanzani...

SAWA WANAWAKE TANZANIA AND FAITH MEDICAL TANZANIA CLINICS jointly addressed the problem of un equitable education in Tanzania particularly  in Morogoro regional by building primary schools such as Leena ,Mtipule,Matale, Msongozi, Dibamba, Mela and Vianzi . Beside building the school we would like to add more tools such as computer lab, Teaching Aid and  whiteboard sand to the classroom and more to provide quality and equitable education for all.

 Equitable Classrooms 

Problem: Un equitable education 

Solution. Quality Equitable digital education for all.

 Sawa Wanawake Tanzania and Faith Medical Tanzania Clinics build Schools, hostels -also distributed medical equipment in four government hospital. Our goal is to upgrade the schools we build and use those classes to serve other youth in the communities. The organizations plan to scale up the schools we build and more by using technologies such as computer software applications google collaboration, Computer application skills, and much more. 

The program will create Opportunities for students and youth to have skills such communication, collaboration, networking, self employed and get skilled jobs.

Our goal is to provide quality equitable education to 2,500,000 children, youth, young adults, teachers and health workers  form Mtamba, Leena, Doma, Msongozi and Mvomero schools   in five years. 

Collaboration with solver team and other donors such as Child Funds from Korea, Will help our organizations to accomplish the goals.

Equitable Classroom

target age group between 5-45 years of age

The group of 5-45 are currently undeserved  particularly in rural areas because they lack quality and equitable education.
We visited the communities and we provided medical equipment and supplies in Matombo, Dutumi, Mtombozi, Tumaini health Center and Vijibweni also we build schools at Matale,Kisanga, Dibamba, Mtipule, Msongozi,Vianzi Mela,Doma Hostel and Melela,Kasanga Hostel in Mvomero and  Mufindi District. 

During the visitation we observed lack of knowledges among the people living in poor families compared to wealthier families. Wealthier families they choose what schools they want to go while poor people they have to depend on public schools which do not have quality and equitable classrooms, moreover they do not use technologies.

In order to improve the schools and communities at  Morogoro, quality equitable  classrooms has to be implemented to close the gap between poor and rich. 

Equitable Education system will help children, youth, women, young adults, teachers and health professionals to develop their knowledge and skills needed to be engaged and become productive members of the society.
More importantly, it will creating multiple options for knowledge acquisition, sense making, product creation in addition to that, computer software application, google collaboration, drone, and more technologies will provide different kind of skills giving to all Morogoro people. In addition to this, as we develop the solution we have more than 50 Youth aged 14-24 engaged with solve Ed. Our Organizations and Solve ED will help the youth with software application and Equitable Education.

Challenge: 

Equitable Classrooms;

 Problem 
Un equitable education 

 Solution 

Implementation of quality equitable education for all

 SAWA Wanawake Tanzania and Faith Medical Tanzania Clinics together have worked in different communities in rural  and urban areas to improve quality health and education.

Our organizations would like to scale up by introducing quality and equitable education stating with schools we build in Morogoro. Our goal is to use technologies such as computer application skills to the students and youths in the communities.

The technology skills will improve their numerical understanding,  good relationship, networking, communication ,Collaboration and good skills in entrepreneurship.

Quality equitable  classrooms and technologies is the key to achieve higher standards of living for all. To increase the engagement of learners in remote and Urban areas the project will enhance networking between rural and Urban population.

Challenge: Equitable classroom.

Equity in the classroom means making sure every student has the resources and support they need to be successful.

Solution: Equitable Education for all.

Our organizations aimed to provide quality equitable education for all. To archive this objectives our organizations manage to secure funds from the above listed entrepreneurship networks for building primary schools such as Leena ,Mtipule,Matale, Msongozi, Dibamba, Mela and Vianzi (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region) in addition to that, we build 6 elementary schools such as  Kisanga, Lusanga, Ndama, Matangani, Mtipule Njia Panda and Gwata (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region).Besides that we build domitories for girls such as Doma,Mela (In Mvomero distict in Morogoro Region ) and Kasanga Hostel at Mufindi Iringa.

Our solution is innovative because children and youth where unable to go to school due to long working distance and the threat of wild animals. Even other schools which were already built were in bad condition and had few classes so the student were unable to learn because there were more than one hundred in one classroom. Our Organizations helped to build school to close the gape of few school in a district. 

Furthermore our organizations aimed to scale up the schools to provide quality equitable education for all students by using technologies such computers applications skills, google collaboration and more.
We expect to provide quality equitable  education to student by mobilizing government officials, organization, Internet providers, Institution and Solver Team to provide tools needed for quality equitable  education.

Our organizations goal is to provide quality equitable education for all. we managed to secured funds from the above listed entrepreneurship networks to build primary schools such as Leena in Morogoro Urban ,Mtipule, Matale, Msongozi, Dibamba, Mela and Vianzi (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region) in addition to that, we build 6 elementary schools such as  Kisanga, Lusanga, Ndama, Matangani, Mtipule Njia Panda and Gwata (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region).Besides that we build domitories for girls such as Doma,Mela (In Mvomero distict in Morogoro Region ) and Kasanga Hostel at Mufindi Iringa.

Moreover we received Medical equipment from mission outreach Springfield IL and  we distributed in four government hospitals in rural area Morogoro and one  government hospital in urban area Dar es salaam.

Our organizations  currently is serving approximately 100,000

In one years will serve 200,000 The solution we are planning to serve  is different from the first solution. 

The second solution  will provide education for more than 1,500,000 student and 1,000,000 youth from the community in five years. we will have short courses, long, seminars and workshops.

The solution is equitable Classroom for all would like all youth in Mvomero district, Morogoro rural area and urban area to learn how to use technologies for communication, networking, collaboration,  web designing, craft designing and more. we will use the schools we built as a centers for learning and training.

Success comes with unity- SAWA WANAWAKE TANZANIA (SAWA) and FAITH MEDICAL TANZANIA together they accomplished to build primary schools such as Leena in Morogoro Urban ,Mtipule, Matale, Msongozi, Dibamba, Mela and Vianzi (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region) in addition to that, we build 6 elementary schools such as  Kisanga, Lusanga, Ndama, Matangani, Mtipule Njia Panda and Gwata (in Mvomero district Morogoro Region).Besides that we build domitories for girls such as Doma,Mela (In Mvomero distict in Morogoro Region ) and Kasanga Hostel at Mufindi Iringa.

Moreover we received Medical equipment from mission outreach Springfield IL and  we distributed in four government hospitals in rural area Morogoro and one  government hospital in urban area Dar es salaam.

The indicator for our solution is the way we achieved to build the schools mentioned above and the distribution of medical equipment and supplies to the hospitals.

The progress we made is first to identify the problem. Next is to make an arrangement how we can solve the problem.

Our organizations have a clear goal to provide quality equitable education for all.

First we will start with Leena primary school, Mvomero secondary   School- Mtamba primary and secondary school in Morogoro rural area as our project model for quality equitable education for all.

Our two organizations  have 12 full time workers, 4 part time and 2 contractors  and 7 board members.

Regarding the project-we will work with network providers who will help with computers installation in the Computers Lab.

The background of our team will help to navigate  equitable classrooms for advancement technology.

Our experience to the communities we serve have helped us to understand exactly  what is needed  To improve the quality of education by using technologies.

Equitable classroom will provide opportunity to learn from teachers who understand how to use technologies  to enhance learning and create quality learning experiences for students, teachers and other workers from all sectors. Moreover   in equitable classrooms  our students will be able to analyze biases and solve the problem with critical thinking, the  students will be actively participating  in their learning process, rather be passive. Students share their deep reasoning's and understandings with classmates to bridge cultural horizons and ensure all perspectives are heeded.

Sawa Women Tanzania and Faith Medical Clinics has diversity working group with different backgrounds, different religion and different ethnic groups. 

We believe that diversity builds strength, fosters innovation and problem-solving by pushing everyone to look at things from different perspectives. Diversity also ensures that organizations are attracting and retaining top talent.

To build a successful team, we encourage each member  to maintain accountability-if each member is held accountable for their work they do their best. We encourage the team members to discuss how to improve our work and meet our goals.

Our goal this year  is to combine compatible personalities. We are asking to partner with MIT solve team faculty, members or, Solvers to give us  more skills in Leadership, capacity building, and marketing. we  believe that, group A can compose a Type-A superstars may become mired in power struggles, while a team of introverts might have a hard time choosing someone to lead the way. 

In addition to that our organizations have values such as integrity, respect, compassion, and dedication. We value each and every employees opinion and his contribution to the organizations. Furthermore our teams strive to insure that all communities that we work with observed the same values mentioned above so that we can archive quality equitable education for all.

We are applying to solver to  help our organizations achieve our goals which is quality equitable education for all. 

in 2007 the enrolment of primary school-aged children has been dropping. An estimated 2 million children between the ages of 7 and 13 years are out-of-school. Almost 70 per cent of children aged 14–17 years are not enrolled in secondary education while a mere 3.2% are enrolled for the final two years of schooling. https://www.unicef.org/tanzania/what-we-do/education

 The reason of dropping out of school is an equitable education particularly in poor income families and rural areas.
our plan is to increase classrooms and computer lab to implement  quality equitable classrooms by using technologies  such as  software applications, google collaboration, drone, numerical analysis and Literary applications 

If selected : We will invite  our mentorship, coaching, and strategic advice from Solve and MIT networks; to advise us on our solution and  to support our goal and impact measurement practice.
Moreover working as a team with our expert will help us gain exposure in the media and at conferences. Access relevant in-kind resources such as software licenses and legal services from Solve Member and partner organizations. 

After receiving mentorship and gain confidence the implementation of quality  equitable  classroom will start by using seminars, workshops, short courses and long courses. Our goal is equip the population we serve  with knowledge and skills necessary to get skilled jobs or self employed to increase productivity in the society and improve literacy  and numeracy skills among the population.

Problem solving needs unity, creative, leadership skills, high technology, public relations, improving financially and monitoring and evaluation of the innovation. 

In order for the organizations to meet all the criterial mentioned above we need talented and experienced organization to partnership with.

Other organization will help to get the inside out of the innovation. Moreover they will be able to pitch in the skills needed to develop, motivate, brand in and create a workable strategy and sustainability of the innovation.

Sawa Wanawake Tanzania and Faith Medical Tanzania Clinics would like to use technology to develop the skills for children, youths, and young adults. Tanzania we needs technical support in many areas particularly in equitable classrooms, and technology related skills.

The organizations  would like to partner with:-MIT Solvers, initiative or Faculty- any of  above who is willing to work with us we will be more than happy to have them. 

We will work together to manage and develop workable plans for Equitable education specifically in rural areas where there unequal opportunities for quality and equitable education. In addition to that our partnership organization will also help us with the strategy how to get funds needed to accomplish our goal.

Our goal is to make sure that, children, youth women and young adults in rural and urban areas gets the chance to access the quality and equitable  education. We would like to serve the underserved populations whereby, quality equitable education has not reached there.

The solution we are putting together will be in two steps

First there are schools which needs the upgrading of classrooms to be equitable classrooms but there’s  schools which needs technologies to make quality equitable learning environment.

 Our organizations are working towards the sustainable development goal, to develop skills that children, youth, women and young adults can use to create relationships, meet their own needs and goals to overcome fears and obstacles. In addition to that , to make sure that their capable to  resolve problems, manage stress and tension in their lives increase  self-esteem and confidence.

Beside that, gets the skills needed to be engaged and productive in the community.
