TZIVA
TZIVA is a small volunteer organization providing technical, educational, fundraising
and hands-on volunteer support to grassroots community projects on the island of
Zanzibar, Tanzania. Our goal is to promote the culture and heritage of this beautiful
country and to help our poorest residents develop the skills and resources they need
to achieve a healthy lifestyle and sustainable livelihood. We work primarily in
Bububu, an underserved but vibrant beachside community located several
kilometers outside Stonetown in Zanzibar. We are a registered organization (No. 551)
under the Societies Act No. 6 of 1995. Our services are available to all regardless of
gender, age, tribe, ethnicity, disability or religion.
Zanzibar Island. Located off Tanzania's east
coast, Zanzibar is a unique place prized for its
exquisite beaches, distinctive architecture, rich
and ancient Swahili culture, Arab-African cuisine
and the warmth and friendliness of its people.
Less well known is the fact that over half of
Zanzibaris subsist on less than $1 US per day,
malnutrition is common, literacy levels are less
than 60% in certain areas, and many residents
lack access to basic health care, safe water,
and education. To learn more about Zanzibar
