About Us

Wasomi Scholars is on a mission to bring young people closer to effective research and effective research closer to young people. We focus primarily on the bachelor's and master's students in the developing countries and currently operating in Zanzibar, Tanzania as a pilot area.

We organize events, short courses (including MOOCs) and offer free consultation for students in developing countries who want to be more impactful with their school research, or independent ones. Our approach is mainly based on maximizing the locally available "low-hanging fruits" to bring about change on the global scale. We are also building local repositories for the areas lacking them to simplify Local Priorities Research and other impactful kinds of research.
