What We Do
Our Programmes
Six active programmes — each designed to address a specific dimension of the mathematics education challenge in Tanzania. All grounded in community, measurable impact and a belief in every child's potential.

Our flagship programme and the heart of Numbers Foundation. Give Back With Maths places volunteer mathematics educators and mentors directly in under-resourced schools — delivering remedial teaching, changing attitudes towards mathematics, and recognising student achievement. Since 2020, this programme has been delivered to over 37 schools across Tanzania and impacted more than 5,300 students.
Great teachers are the most powerful lever for systemic educational change. MTW workshops equip mathematics teachers with effective pedagogical techniques, problem-solving approaches, and peer-review systems — delivered in partnership with the Arusha Regional Educational Office. The programme directly targets underperforming schools and provides ongoing support to their teachers.
We know that education opens the doors for students — and our charity programme ensures those doors are accessible to all. Numbers Charity provides essential school materials and items of dignity to students from vulnerable backgrounds at Nkoanekoli Primary School. Numbers Charity & Sport extends this by using football and community events to unite students, parents and teachers around shared values of education, teamwork and health.
Numbers Online School is our dedicated digital learning platform — available at numbersonlineschool.com. The platform brings structured mathematics video lessons to students across Tanzania regardless of their location. It extends the reach of our in-person work beyond the limits of geography, allowing any student with an internet connection to access quality mathematics education at their own pace and on their own device.
Numbers Foundation collaborates with the Mathematics Association of Tanzania under the University of Dar es Salaam to build and run the Tanzania Mathematics Olympiad Coaching Community. Our founder, Mr. Agrey Kimaro, serves as acting Head Coach of the national team. TAMO provides Tanzania's most gifted mathematics students with the challenge, preparation and exposure to compete nationally and internationally — building the critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for Tanzania's future leaders.
These two creative programmes are currently in active development — representing our expanding vision for mathematics education through art, culture and media.
An innovative initiative using music, fashion and creative arts to make mathematics more engaging — challenging the cultural myth that maths is difficult or inaccessible. Numbers Foundation uses this programme to create positive, enjoyable associations with mathematics in young people's daily lives.
A series of short films designed to show students, teachers and the public that mathematics exists everywhere in daily life — from nature to sport to cooking. By making mathematics visible through film, we aim to reduce fear of the subject and build curiosity in audiences of all ages.
