Promoting Education, Shaping the Future: NETZSCH Donates Laptops to a School in Tanzania
Education is the key to a successful future! Unfortunately, for various reasons, not everyone is granted access to it. To provide more children and young people with digital education, NETZSCH Pumps & Systems has donated eleven laptops to Msafiri Primary School in Tanzania.
With these devices, students will have easier access to digital learning opportunities and new prospects for their academic development. NETZSCH trainees prepared the notebooks before they arrived in Tanzania.

The Msafiri Primary School was built in 2005 in northern Tanzania by Michael Hell of the fashion house Hell, with the help of various European organisations, such as the Rotary Club Mühldorf-Waldkraiburg. Since January 2012, the school has been fully operational. All seven primary levels and one preschool class are offered. A total of 170 children and young people attend the school. What makes the school unique is teaching in English, which offers young people better opportunities after graduating. To ensure the students can keep up in the digital age, they have computer lessons from third grade onwards. These lessons teach them various basic programs such as Excel or Word.
Think globally, help locally: Donation for education
The equipment for the computer lessons comes from NETZSCH. In the past few weeks, the trainees Elias Steinert and Samuel Dulic have equipped eleven notebooks with the latest software and prepared them for teaching at the school in the future. “Being part of this project was a very special experience for me”, said Steinert. Dulic added: “It's a great feeling to know our work is helping to provide better educational opportunities for children on the other side of the world.” Thanks to the commitment and technical know-how, the children on site can work smoothly and in a contemporary way. As part of a donation, Michael Sigl, Teamlead IT Endpoint Services, and the apprentices handed over the notebooks to the project manager, Mr Hell. “NETZSCH's support is of great value to our school. The notebooks open new learning opportunities for our students – especially in the digital field”, says Hell.
As a global specialist in handling complex media, NETZSCH takes responsibility not only for its products and solutions but also for people – locally and internationally. “Education is the key to a self-determined future. With our support, we want to help open new opportunities for young people”, emphasises Sigl.
