Digital Skills for the
Real World
Empowering Learners with Essential 21st Century Skills.
At SonzaSpark, our Digital Skills Program is designed to close the digital divide by teaching essential technology skills through hands-on, student-friendly training. Learners don’t just consume digital content—they learn how to create, collaborate, and innovate using digital tools.
Why Digital Skills Matter
Digital literacy is the new basic skill —vital for learning, working, and thriving in today’s world. Yet many learners in Tanzania still lack structured access to quality digital training.
We’re here to change that.
Our program introduces students to a wide range of practical, future-ready tech skills —from using Microsoft Word and browsing safely, to exploring AI tools and expressing creativity through design.
