We have been in Zanzibar for around six weeks now. We have some good news both about the developments of the new workplace as well as the partnerships with resorts.
Hilfe fur Afrika has come through with financial support for the new workplace. Now that Chako has raised a significant amount of money, Wilde Ganzen has been contacted. This is an organisation that supports development project by multiplying raised money with a factor of 1.5. If the shipping containers can be obtained for a good price (we are currently working on a collaboration with a hotel for this), a significant amount of the money that is needed has been raised. Besides, we have improved the design that we had already made and we have continued to work on some details. The current design is shown in the picture that is attached to this blog. Furthermore, we have visited some resorts that were interested in collaborating with Chako. This has resulted in some new orders and collaborations. We are satisfied with our progress so far and we are excited for the Christmas break!
For now, everyone involved in Chako would like to wish you nice holidays and all the best in the new year!
