Promotion of Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for girls, promotion of ICT for girls’ education and many others is another area of FAWETZ’s interventions that are geared towards addressing factors that hinder the vulnerable girls and boys of Tanzania from attaining their full potential and enjoying their full rights especially education. FAWETZ also constantly works towards ensuring that positive learning environment that treat girls and boys equally exist under its interventions.
