MITz KITS

What MITz KITS does

MITz KITS (legally MITz Group Company Limited) is a Tanzanian education technology social enterprise headquartered in Mwanza that designs and manufactures portable, low-cost STEM kits for use in Primary and Secondary schools. Founded in 2018, the company sells three kit tiers, MSINGI (Primary, Class IV-VII), ALFA (Form I), and BETA (Form III-IV), each covering roughly 10 physics concepts in electricity, light/optics, or mechanics, with content mapped to the Tanzania national syllabus. The kits are produced in-house using PCB and 3D printing, which the company uses to keep unit prices between TSh 50,000 and TSh 100,000 (roughly USD 17-35) and enable a 100% portable "lab-in-a-box" form factor that does not require a fixed school laboratory.

The product surface also includes a Computer Donation Program and a 2026 Primary School STEM Readiness Pilot, the latter a six-month bundled offering that pairs kits with two trained teachers and monthly progress reporting. Manufacturing and assembly are localized, leveraging PCB technology and 3D printing for customization of components and rapid prototyping.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales, complemented by institutional pilots and donor/NGO-funded programs. Customers are acquired through an owned e-commerce storefront (mitzkits.co.tz), direct field sales to schools, and partnerships with NGOs; checkout supports M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, Airtel Money, Visa, Mastercard, and bank transfer via DPO Pay, with free delivery limited to Mwanza. The company reports having reached 16,000+ students, sold 4,000+ kits, conducted 2,000+ sessions, and engaged 30+ schools, operating with a 1-10 person team.

Core offering

MITz KITS designs, manufactures, and sells portable, affordable, curriculum-aligned STEM education kits for primary and secondary schools in Tanzania. The kits are produced using PCB (Printed Circuit Board) technology and 3D printing and are tiered into MSINGI (primary), ALFA (Form I secondary), and BETA (Form III–IV secondary) product lines covering electricity, light, and mechanics concepts. The company sells through its own e-commerce website and reaches schools and NGOs via direct sales and pilot programs.

Product overview

MITzKITS is an EdTech company offering a tiered portfolio of portable, affordable, and curriculum-aligned STEM education kits designed for Tanzanian schools. The product lineup consists of three main kit tiers: MSINGI KITS (for Primary School, Class IV-VII), ALFA KITS (for Form I Secondary School), and BETA KITS (for Form III & IV Secondary School). Each kit focuses on hands-on science education with curriculum-aligned experiments in electricity, light, and mechanics. The company also offers computer donation programs and teacher training services as part of its educational ecosystem.
