Protect Chukwani'sTreasures

For the last 2 years you have supported our partners in Zanzibar in protecting their educational treasures.

The school in Bambi, a village in the centre of the island, was equipped with windows and gates which will now protect computers, printers, the library and the science laboratory. In Chukwani school a wall will prospectivly prevent the botanical garden from being missused by animals or as dumping ground.

PROTECTING TREASURES means the conservation of values that we could establish with our partners during the last 20 years. Among those is the all- purpose- hall of Chukwani school which needs a new floor.
Until now the hall was used for competitions, school events and most important, to hold central school exams. Furthermore, the room was rented out for weddings to collect money for the school.
Since the floor is in bad condition the room cannot be used anymore. The wrong mix of cement and sand or a bad top lamina might be a reason for the fact that the room is now officially closed off for any usage.

Project manager Khalfan Mwita has researched a more stable floor- material alternative.
Terrazzo is a floor material which becomes very hard after grinding and polishing. This is rather expensive and a lot of work for the craftmen onsite but it will provide a solid floor with a long life span. It will cost 3.285 Euro. One third will be needed for labor costs and and a heavy machine is needed to manufacture the terrazzo. Read more
