Introduction
Tanzania's education system has faced numerous challenges in recent years, ranging from geopolitical instability to technological transformation. One of the most significant disruptions came with the COVID-19 pandemic, which exposed a deep digital divide across the country.

When used effectively, technology can play a significant role in improving the quality and equity of education in Tanzania. The Government of the United Republic of Tanzania has initiated pilot programs for live teaching systems, where a single teacher can instruct students across the entire country simultaneously.

Hello, my name is Fadhili Mwalingo, I am a Youth Advocate for the KUYENDA Collective from Mbeya, Tanzania. I’m happy to share my story with You! Last year I managed to mobilize my fellow youth and together with the authorities we were able to rebuild the bridge that has been destroyed by heavy rain and strong wind. Now students from Ndola village cross it to reach Nsalala Secondary School safely. Yes, it took a while, but the result was rewarding!
