Project work January, February 2019

During our stay in Zanzibar from 17 January to 14 February 2019 we focused on the following projects:

Project CHOO: This year we have focused on rebuilding the toilets we built in Fukuchani in 2016 to work properly. By our departure in mid-February, all 16 toilets had been completed.

Project ELIMU: We have good news from the two young women Wahida and Siti. Both of them have completed their vocational training as tailor and cook with certificate and have already found employment.

Two other young women came to ask for support of their further education:

Mahija, a very good pupil, wants to study chemistry and was looking for sponsorship since 2 years for the family is rather poor. Her joy about our commitment was tremendous! She will start her studies in July 2019.

Zakia has already started her training as a teacher in Stone Town, but needed financial support to continue her studies, which we granted her.

Hassan is one of our children from the RIZIKI project. He finished school and will attend from March 2019 the Zanzibar Institute of Tourism to take on hotel and hospitality studies.

Project DAWA: The Gasparini Children's Hospital (Kendwa, Zanzibar) received around 100 baby romper suits thanks to a donation from the County Hospital St. Gallen. Our contact on site, Christina Holesek, told us that later the same day three babies were born and were dressed in the donated rompers.
