What People Say About ZAVECO
★★★★★
"I spent six weeks in Zanzibar during July and August 2018. While there I served as ZAVECO’s sustainability intern, working in mangrove replanting, helping to establish the groundworks for a sustainable finance crab farming project and cleaning up a considerable amount of plastic. I can honestly say that working with ZAVECO has been a transformative experience. The people within this organization are qualified, intelligent, and dedicated to improving the environment and the surrounding communities of Zanzibar through hard work and compassion."

"My name is Saadati A. Khatib, a student at Mwenge Catholic University in Moshi, taking bachelor degree in Applied Biology, As an intern at Zanzibar Volunteers for Environmental Conservation, I have had the incredible opportunity to immerse myself in a variety of conservation projects aimed at preserving the rich biodiversity of Zanzibar especially mangrove forests. Throughout my internship, I have learned valuable skills in environmental research, data collection, and sustainable practices. Working alongside dedicated conservationists, I have gained a deeper understanding of the importance of protecting our natural resources and the impact of community involvement in conservation efforts. My time at Zanzibar Volunteers for Environmental Conservation has been both educational and inspiring, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to the organization's mission."
