The Karibu Assalam Eco-Village is opening its doors for you with a half day sustainable experience. Meet us at our eco village campus in Kizimkazi where our foundation and projects are based and learn how you can support our work with the local community, especially children and women.
The tour starts with our permaculture farm and our community school, followed by a visit of our vocational training centre for women and our arts&cultural centre - you support our work just by visiting us. After a break on our jetty with coffee, tea and stunning sea views you will get to take part in a workshop - make your own hamammni soap and learn the "ngoma" (drum). Upon request we can include a visit to Kizimkazi village for you to learn more about local Swahili life.
Should you wish to extend your visit to our social enterprise project, add a cooking lesson (with you own Swahili lunch cooked under the guidance of our staff) or an eco-print workshop in the afternoon.
