Getting to know us better
Island
Zanzibar Island is located off the Tanzanian coast.
A delicate little paradise with limited resources that our association helps to preserve.
Village
Jambiani, a small fishing village located on the East coast of the main island of Unguja, is the heart of our association.
In 2021, we renovated an old house there so that the fishermen could have a communal storage space.
Boats
The traditional boats used by the fishermen, also called Ngalawa, are primarily made of wood.
This wood, sourced from the surrounding forests (on Uzi Island), is overexploited, thus jeopardizing the activities and livelihood of the community.
Fishermen
By supporting the Jambiani fishing community, you are giving them the opportunity to sustain their activity.
But you are also contributing to the health of the local economy and to passing on their valuable shipbuilding expertise to future generations.
