Numbers Foundation began with a simple conviction — that no Tanzanian child should fail mathematics for lack of support. Here is who we are, where we started, and where we are going.
Students who are highly motivated and performing well in mathematics in every primary and secondary school in Tanzania.
Promote teaching, mentoring and coaching of students and teachers to foster mathematics performance in schools across Tanzania.
We measure everything. Every programme is evaluated on documented exam outcomes and real change in students' lives.
We work with teachers, headteachers and parents — not around them. Lasting change requires community ownership.
We deliberately focus on under-resourced schools. Every child deserves the same quality of mathematical support.
Our programmes are built on what works — teacher coaching, intensive mentoring, and direct student engagement.
We are built by Tanzanians, for Tanzania — with deep understanding of the local education system and culture.
We set bold goals — from ending Grade F at struggling schools to competing on the international Olympiad stage.
From a single volunteer visit in 2020 to a nationally recognised NGO — our story, year by year.
We launched Give Back With Maths — volunteer teachers visiting under-resourced schools across Arusha. The organisation is formally registered as an NGO (Reg. No. 00NGO/R/2112).
The Give Back With Maths programme expands to new schools across the Meru and Arusha districts. First Mathematical Technical Workshops launched in partnership with the Arusha Regional Education Office.
Numbers Charity & Sport programme launches at Nkoanekoli Primary School. Numbers Online School goes live at numbersonlineschool.com, bringing live lessons to students across Tanzania.
Numbers Foundation begins working with Form Four students at Nshupu Secondary School. For the first time in the school's 23-year history, students achieve Grade A in mathematics. Three students sponsored to university. Tanzania Mathematics Olympiad (TAMO) programme begins.
Grade C at Nkoanekoli Primary rises from 6% to 42% in the National Assessment. Grade E eliminated entirely. 30+ charity beneficiaries supported. Over 5,300 students reached cumulatively.
Expanding to new regions, deepening Olympiad coaching, launching Maths Music & Lifestyle and Maths From The Woods programmes. Targeting 10,000+ students reached by end of 2026.
We are grateful to the organisations who walk with us in this mission.
Supporting Give Back With Maths at Nshupu Secondary School since 2023 across Meru District, Arusha. Key funder of our most transformative programme.
