I had a really lovely time, I felt incredibly welcome. The tour was great, I loved meeting the community and getting involved in practical activities including drum and soap workshops. The village tour was also really lovely for learning about the local culture.

We went there in December and the manager personally took us trough a tour in the community village explaining everything and answering every question. It is an amazing place for both village and nature. The really work for a good purpose and they are making a big difference helping the local needing people to get a school education and develop useful skills to get a job and be able to provide for themselves and their families. They also have two huge mind blowing tree houses they use to educational purposes. Last but not least they are spreading the permaculture knowledge in order to get conscious citizens when it comes to environment impact. We enjoyed the tour and also had a great lunch with them. Thank you all!

I visited Assalam Community Foundation during my time in Zanzibar. They are doing great job in terms of education and women empowerment. There is a beautiful community school with a lot of opportunities for childiren, women sewing workshop, permaculture garden. You can learn and witness all that NGO has been doing there. We got to meet the founder of the NGO also. She explained how her Africa story started which was very inspirational. We stayed for Swahili cooking class and that was amazing as well. It was really fun to prepare food with local women who are really sincere. We enjoyed our lunch with a beautiful view from Jetsi area.
