teKsafari at Sahara sparks 2025: Impact revisited
Sahara Sparks 2025 was more than just an innovation conference — it was a celebration of a decade of Africa’s largest innovation and technology marketplace. Held over two days in Dar es Salaam under the theme “Impact Revisited”, the event brought together startups, investors, policymakers, and changemakers to reflect on the impact of technology and chart the path forward. For teKsafari, this stage offered the perfect opportunity to highlight its journey of reshaping tech education in Tanzania.
Nuru: Programming Made Swahili
Where Culture Meets Code
At the heart of teKsafari’s showcase was Nuru, the first Swahili programming language. Built with the belief that language should never be a barrier to innovation, Nuru empowers young people to learn computational thinking and coding in their mother tongue. This solution embodies teKsafari’s vision of breaking down barriers and making digital skills accessible to all, regardless of background or geography.
Expanding Access Through Inclusive EdTech

At our booth during Sahara Sparks 2025, teKsafari showcased more than just Nuru. Visitors got a glimpse of our broader commitment to hands-on and culturally relevant learning through initiatives like Think Studio, where students explore creativity, problem-solving, and innovation rooted in their own realities. The booth became a space of discovery, sparking curiosity and conversations around how localized solutions can equip Tanzania’s youth to become tomorrow’s tech creators.
