ChemCheemi is the first Tanzania’s Inclusive, Smart and interactive solar powered portable audio learning system that empowers children with foundational skills in Numeracy, Literacy and STEM.
Research shows that by the age of 10, a child in school should be able to read and do basic Mathematics, the foundational skills necessary for further learning and the development of advanced skills. This is different in Sub Saharan Africa where only 3 kids out of 10 can achieve that. This is Learning poverty.
In Tanzania, the problem is manifested in different forms from kids at early learning stages to secondary schools. From 2015 - 2023, out of ten form four students who sat for Maths national Exam only 3 or less pass the exam. Also from time to time, reports show children in some regions in Tanzania experience learning poverty, by reaching even standard four without even being able to read a syllable. This is just the branch of the problem tree, the challenges originate from having not enough competent Literacy and numeracy skills from the childhood learning level.

Recognizing the essential role that reading, writing, and arithmetic play as foundational skills in education, ChemCheemi Africa is committed to enhancing our approach to the renowned hashtag#3R Strategy in Education. We have redesigned our flashcards to feature tracing graphics on one side, enabling children to practice writing letters and numbers with an erasable pen, making our flashcards act like "little white boards". These flashcards can also be tapped on the ChemCheemi audio system to hear the sounds of the letters or the names of the digits, accompanied by various auditory cues such as beeps, animal sounds, and object noises to strengthen numerical understanding. At ChemCheemi Africa, we are dedicated to emphasizing the 3Rs as critical components of early education, providing a solid foundation for academic and intellectual development.
