Nzito
Nzito uses driftwood and hardwoods recycled from used dhow boats to create a range of products that ooze with texture and age.
Mabinti
Mabinti works with homeless and disadvantaged young women. At their workshop in the capital Dar es salaam they provide training in a variety of craft based skills such as printing, stitching, dying and beading. They aim to improve the quality of life for vulnerable women by teaching them a trade and developing their life and entrepreneurial skills. It is hoped this will empower them to become economically independent and help reintegrate them into their community. The women remain at the centre for about a year and are then helped and guided into employment and independent living. This is a great project, doing fabulous, sustainable work and making beautiful products.
