A Story of Transformation

A Historic Breakthrough in Just One Year

Since opening in January 2000, Nshupu Secondary School had never recorded a Grade A in mathematics. For over two decades, students consistently struggled to reach top performance — not due to lack of potential, but due to limited academic support.

In 2023, Numbers Foundation partnered with Foundation Le Solstice Tanzania to deliver intensive coaching, remedial teaching, and direct mentorship to Form Four students. Within just one year, the impact was transformative.
Since then, Nshupu has been achieving Grade A in National Examinations.

For the first time in the school’s history, students achieved a Grade A in mathematics — a milestone that redefined what was possible for Nshupu.

What People Say

From headteachers to parents to students — the people who experience our work firsthand.

"

For the first time since this school was founded, our students achieved Grade A in mathematics. Numbers Foundation didn't just visit us — they believed in our students when we had almost stopped believing ourselves.

The workshop gave me tools I had never been taught in training. I can see the difference in my classroom — students are engaging, asking questions, and actually enjoying mathematics.

"

My daughter was afraid of maths. After Numbers Foundation visited her school, she came home excited about a problem she solved. That excitement turned into an A in her national exams.
