For many years the women’s cooperative “Riziki” has been running a small guest house in Pwani Mchangani, a village on the east coast of Zanzibar. The guest house with its six rooms is mostly hosting workers from neighboring hotels. The income from the guest house supports around 40 women and their families.
Now the members of the cooperative have decided to add value to their guest house. They want to set up electricity, so they have light in the rooms and in order to buy a fridge. That enables them able to offer fresh fish and cold beverages. It is also necessary to renew the toilets and showers as well as refurbish the guest rooms.10% of the money in need has been collected already by the women, who also run a seaweed farm, we want to support them collecting the rest.

  Hallo Chris, habe mich gerade eben neu angemeldet, hatte mal einen Bericht im Fernsehen gesehen und fand das eine super Sache - betterplace an sich. Das Projekt, was du hier beschreibst, klingt sehr interessant und es fehlen ja wohl nur noch 30 Euro. Die würde ich gern beisteuern. Für das Projekt soll es ja eine Spendenbescheinigung geben. Da ich aber ungern meine komplette Adresse hier veröffentlichen möchte, wie erreicht mich denn die Spendenbescheinigung. Danke schon mal für deine Antwort. Viele (verdammt kalte) Grüße aus Hannover Gabi

    Hallo Gabi, bis zu einem Betrag von 200 Euro genuegt dem Finanzamt der Ueberweisungstraeger als Nachweis der Spende. Ausserdem wird niemand ausser betterplace (nicht einmal ich als Projektverantwortlicher) deine Adresse erfahren. Betterplace wird die Spende bestaetigen. Viele Gruesse, Matthias
