"The overall objective of the STEM 4 ALL program is to support schools in preparing secondary school students in science, computer studies, mathematics and ICT to train in Engineering, Health & Allied Sciences, Science Teaching so as to contribute in transforming Tanzania towards a mid in-come industrialized country which requires serious investment in education particularly in science, mathematics and ICT. Most schools in Tanzania are situated in rural areas. They seriously lack teachers and teaching & learning aids for teaching Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects. This STEM 4 ALL program will assist the schools that lack infrastructural (Computers, Laboratory Equipment, Books, etc.) and staffing facilities related to STEM at no cost for the schools thereby contribute to the overall development of students in schools towards STEM. Since the start of the program, more than 450 schools have shown interest and the program aims to support more than 4000 schools across the country. As on 15 January 2022, 53 schools have been supported with computers, books, laboratory equipment. Also, to empower and inspire women in ICT, the program provides full scholarship for one outstanding female student from each participating schools."

• Remote and rural communities

The project is replicable by the like minded stakeholders who intend to support schools that lack infrastructure and teacher facility for teaching STEM subjects in secondary schools in any country/region that is in need.

This project is supported by St. Joseph University In Tanzania as a part of its outreach program also the teachers that are being sent to the schools are the student teachers of the University which ensures the sustainability of the project.

"The ultimate aim of this project is to give enough facilities for the secondary school students to learn STEM related subjects thereby contributing to the Freedom, equality, Solidarity and shared responsibility which are some of the basic WSIS values."
