📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Perspective Development Skills Charitable Organization is a Community Organization located in Kibele, Tunguu, Zanzibar. It was started in December 2016 by Abdallah Khatib Hamad, the Former President of Zanzibar University Students Organization (ZANUSO) – 2015/2016.

Our mission is to improve the living standard of people in rural areas who live under poor conditions with limited access to public education by providing them with additional education in order to build valuable life skills with the goal to empower young people to shape their future independently and breaking the vicious circle.

💼 What the programme involves

Participants will be involved in the following outlined activities :

  • Mangrove trees re-planting;
  • Preparation of fish ponds for fish farms to support community income generation to reduce pressure from the sea and mangrove forest;
  • Support various activities of seaweed farmers with the purpose of creating diversity of economic activities;
  • Language teaching and life skills to the Children and young people to enhance their communication skills.

Participants of this project will have an opportunity to experience life with local community members in Tumbe (Pemba) village and Tunguu village (Unguja). Various Discussions and educational visits will be organized involving participants of the project, community members and visited places. The major topic will be Coastal Environmental Conservation. Please bring information from your home community for sharing.

There are different activities organised on a daily basis by the organization within the community. Volunteers can chose to involve themselves on different ones of those during their stay, but it is important to keep in mind that you are going to become a member of the local team and that it's necessary to be open-minded and flexible.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Participants will be accommodated with the host families at the Tunguu Community or Tumbe village at Pemba. Some Participants might be accommodated in the common house for PDS Volunteers in Tunguu Zanzibar or Tumbe village in Pemba Island depending on which area you want to volunteer. Clean water and electricity will be available.

🍲 Food

Food will be provided in a house for PDS volunteers or to the local house depending where volunteer stay. Participants with special dietary requirements should inform us well in advance. Participants are expected to help in preparation of the some meals as a part of exchange.

🎒 Leisure activities

The project is organized in a way that provides an opportunity for participants to utilize their free time by enjoying what the region offers in terms of cultural and natural attractions. Participants will have an opportunity to explore Zanzibar historical, natural and cultural sites.

🤝 Meeting point

Volunteers will be picked up by PDS member at their arrival at ZANZIBAR’s airport. If you buy a ticket to arrive at Dar Es Salaam’s airport, please note that you will need to reach Zanzibar on your own (by boat/ferry) and that a member of PDS will pick you up at the port. If you go to Pemba, you will also depend on yourself the cost of ticket. But we will drop you to the port if you choose to go to Pemba and we will pick you to the Pemba port to the day of arrival.
