Project details

What we need
  • Feedback on the current website’s layout, user functionality, mobile-friendliness, visual design, content, and other key features
  • Clear articulation of the Organization’s goals for the website
  • Recommendations for improvements to help achieve the Organization’s desired goals
  • Note: If you are looking for a more specific, in-depth audit of your website's design and usability, try our Website Usability Audit project
What we have in place
  • We currently a very old free website and are looking to overhaul. We have a clear goal and understand the target audiences we are hoping to attract, but there are no previous data on traffic.
How this will help
This project will save us $4,762 , allowing us to reach out to almost double the number of schools and communities in more rural areas of Arusha and the neighbouring regions with our programs.

We get a lot of referrals who then check our website but find a free Weebly site that is outdated and has not got a lot of information. This can come off as a bit disorganised and not relevant enough and so we want to change that so that our website is current, engaging and attractive, with up to date information that is easy on the eyes. This would increase our traffic and funder attraction greatly! We hope to also include a fun blog and application forms/sign up sheets for our programs & space

Our mission

Empowering people to design and make their own technologies that solve community challenges in Tanzania

What we do

We're known for our welcoming maker-space with hammers, welding machines, drills, and a lathe, as well as our project-based, hands-on design and creativity workshops, where participants from all sorts of backgrounds identify challenges they see in their communities and make a physical prototype of a possible solution. Examples include a bicycle-powered washing machine, soap cutter machine, and vegetable cutting machine. Over the past few years, we have worked with 1,000+ people in 25+ primary & secondary schools, women's organizations, farmer's groups, and youth organizations in Arusha and surrounding communities.

Our approach:
1) SHAWISHIKA (be inspired): raising awareness of how technologies can improve lives in communities and inspiring people to solve their own challenges.
2) JARIBU (try): giving opportunities for people to try innovating and build their confidence as problem-solvers.
3) ENDELEZA (continue): providing support for those who want to continue as entrepreneurs and disseminate their innovations more widely across Tanzania and beyond.
