At Zongea Institute of Technology (ZIT), we believe in a Liberia where everyone has the opportunity to unlock their potential, acquire job-ready skills, and contribute to a more prosperous future. We established ZIT with a transformative vision: to break down barriers and open doors for all Liberians through high-quality, accessible, and free education.
Our unique approach—Teach, Tutor, Mentor (TTM)—is designed to support students at every stage of their learning journey, empowering them to thrive in a world that is increasingly driven by technology and innovation.
We believed every Liberians should have:
We believe education should be accessible to everyone. Our free programs ensure no one is left behind due to financial limitations.
Our hands-on, industry-aligned curriculum prepares students for jobs in the tech sector, helping them build practical skills for the future.
In Liberia, poverty and high unemployment restrict countless people from accessing quality education, trapping many in a cycle of limited opportunities. With an average income of less than $2.00 a day, most Liberians cannot afford tuition for advanced education, leaving potential innovators, engineers, and tech leaders without a chance to pursue their dreams. By making ZIT entirely free, we remove financial obstacles and empower every Liberian—regardless of socioeconomic background—to acquire the skills they need for meaningful work. With this access, they are better equipped to support themselves, uplift their families, and build a better future.
Liberia’s economy is growing, but its local talent pool is struggling to keep pace with global standards. Essential roles in technology, engineering, agriculture, and other sectors often require foreign expertise, as there aren’t enough skilled local candidates to fill them. ZIT’s free programs and specialized training aim to close this gap by aligning education with Liberia’s most urgent workforce needs. Through our TTM model, we ensure that students not only learn technical skills but also receive the ongoing support they need to become leaders and innovators, ready to drive Liberia forward.
Liberia’s education system has faced countless challenges, from overcrowded classrooms and limited resources to underqualified teachers. The 2013 University of Liberia entrance exam failure—where more than 25,000 high school graduates did not pass—exposed just how urgent these challenges are. Our TTM model is designed to address this crisis by ensuring students have continuous support and guidance. Teaching provides them with high-quality, relevant education; tutoring reinforces understanding; and mentorship prepares them for both personal and professional success. By involving each ZIT graduate in the TTM model, we create a system of mutual support that grows stronger with each new student.
At ZIT, our free tuition model is more than a solution—it’s a call for shared responsibility. We ask our graduates to “pay it forward” by using their skills to teach, tutor, or mentor future students. This creates a culture of generosity and empowerment, where each graduate’s success helps uplift others. As they give back, they not only strengthen our educational community but also contribute to a Liberia that values growth, support and shared success.
Today’s world is interconnected, and technology skills are in high demand worldwide. ZIT’s focus on tech and job-ready skills ensures that our students are prepared not only for opportunities in Liberia but also for those in the global economy. Our curriculum includes essential digital skills, programming, cybersecurity, and data science competencies—skills that open doors to global job opportunities, remote work, and entrepreneurship. By equipping our students with globally relevant skills, we empower them to earn a stable income, contribute to Liberia’s economy, and bring growth to their communities.
Africa is experiencing a digital revolution, and Liberia has the talent and drive to play a leading role. ZIT’s TTM model not only provides technical skills but also cultivates the critical thinking and confidence needed to lead this transformation. With specialized training and mentorship, we empower Liberia’s youth to create solutions tailored to Africa’s unique needs, contributing to a thriving digital economy. Our graduates are not just job seekers; they are innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders who can help shape the future of Liberia and Africa as a whole.
At ZIT, we see a future where:
