Our Story

The Panje Project (TPP) was established in 2011 to support the educational development of youth in the local Nungwi Village in Zanzibar. The work began after discovering many of the locals were overlooked for work in the nearby hotels and restaurants.

The need for labor in the area has risen due to the rise in tourism however many businesses find it difficult to hire local labor due to low educational levels. A high number of locals are poorly educated and lack basic English language skills, leading to majority of hotels importing labor from mainland Tanzania and nearby countries.

Life As A Volunteer?

 
A typical start for any TPP volunteer will be a relaxed weekend of getting to know other volunteers and the local area. Relax on the Island’s beautiful beaches, or take a swim in the Indian Ocean. Take a walk through the local village and sample some Swahili cooking and just take it easy.
