Doreen Bateyunga is a young Tanzanian female with a passion for education. She holds a B.A in International Relations from the University of San Diego and an M.A from University College London (UCL).

Her past work has included fighting for girls’ right to education in Tanzania and bridging the digital gender gap through sparking and sustaining an interest in STEM in young girls. She is currently working at Ubongo Learning, a social enterprise that aims at delivering effective and localized learning content to African families at low cost & massive scale through edutainment. As the Pre-production Coordinator, she leads her team in creating entertaining and educational content for young children.
