zanzibar bora

Improving the lives of Zanzibaris in every way possible.

Mission

Zanzibar Bora is a non-governmental organisation founded by local residents to improve the living conditions for the people of Zanzibar. The true problems and daily issues of the people are front and center of our work. With the help of many people, we achieve a lot with very little. Just 50 EUR, for example, covers a whole year's tuition for a child with our school project. The same amount allows a health education class for a group of 30 adults to take place. We invest in the people for a better tomorrow: for them, their families and the community.

paka clinic

Taking care of Stone Town's street cats.
