The South Sudan STEM Initiative (SSSTEM) exists to bring technology to primary and secondary schools throughout South Sudan. Most of the students at these schools have never seen a computer yet the world is increasingly reliant on technology for employment and economic growth. SSSTEM is enabling the next generation of South Sudanese students to be better prepared for careers in science, technology, engineering and math.
The organization was founded by David Ayual Mayom in 2016. Troubled by the desolate condition of education across South Sudan, where most elementary and high school students have never used and/or seen a computer, and where there is almost no computer and science labs, David founded the South Sudan STEM Initiative to help introduce and alleviate the deficiency of these critical learning areas of the 21st century. With this initiative, he and his team are helping introduce and reinforce science, technology, engineering and mathematics learning through apps and other computer programs.
