One Girl Plus takes girls’ life-skills learning into digital space
The Msichana Initiative has launched the 'One Girl Plus' digital platform to provide life-skills education to girls in Tanzania. The platform uses AI-powered chatbots and interactive content to bridge the gap for girls with limited access to traditional schooling.
Why it matters
Digital education initiatives are increasingly vital for closing gender and geographic gaps in access to essential life-skills training in developing nations.
Dar es Salaam . For girls living far from schools, support programmes and reliable internet, geography and household income can determine how much they learn and the opportunities they can access.
Msichana Initiative is now turning to technology to help close that gap through the One Girl Plus Digital Platform, launched in Dar es Salaam on Saturday, September 5, 2026, to give girls continued access to life-skills education beyond traditional face-to-face sessions.
The platform builds on a programme that has reached more than 10,000 girls aged 10 to 25 over the past four years, helping them develop self-awareness, confidence and goal-setting skills through games, storytelling, discussions and learning from female role models.
Msichana Initiative executive director, Ms Consolata Chikoti, said the move into the digital space was driven by what girls themselves had told the organisation.
