Why we're replacing chalk with whiteboards in Tanzanian classrooms
Chalk has been part of classroom life for generations. Here's why we think it's time for a cleaner, healthier alternative, and what the switch really involves.

Tanzania Student Plan Organization
Better classrooms. Brighter futures.
TASPO works with students, teachers and schools across Tanzania to create classrooms that are healthier, better equipped and built around students who plan and take charge of their own learning.
What we do
Practical help where it matters most: in the classroom.
We focus on a small number of things and do them properly. Everything we do is aimed at helping students learn well and teachers teach well.
Healthier classrooms
Through Whiteboards for All, we're replacing dusty blackboards and chalk slates with clean, durable whiteboards.
Whiteboards for All →Students who plan
The TASPO Taskbook helps students set goals, plan their week and follow their own progress, building habits that last.
The TASPO Taskbook →Clubs beyond the timetable
Academic and socio-economic clubs give students space to explore, lead and build skills outside ordinary lessons.

Current project
Whiteboards for All
In many Tanzanian classrooms, teachers still write on blackboards with chalk, and pupils work on small chalk slates at their desks. That means chalk dust in the air that students and teachers breathe all day, every day.
Whiteboards for All replaces blackboards and slates with clean, long-lasting whiteboards and markers, so the classroom is a healthier place to spend the day.
- No chalk dust in the air or on hands and uniforms
- Sharper, easier-to-read writing for every row of the class
- Personal whiteboards so every pupil can practise and show their work
How it works
From European partners to Tanzanian classrooms.
Our partners and donors in Europe help equip schools in Tanzania. We handle the practical side so that every donation arrives safely and gets used.
Partners give
Donors, companies and organisations in Europe support us with funding or with equipment we actually need.
We source and ship
We source equipment in Europe, pack it carefully and organise shipping to Tanzania.
Customs and delivery
We handle the paperwork and customs clearance, then deliver directly to the schools we work with.
In the classroom
Equipment goes into daily use, and we follow up with schools to make sure it's making a difference.
