Tamani

Tamani Foundation, founded in 2012, aims to provide free, high quality education in the village of Matemwe- Zanzibar. They provide nursery, primary, and adult education free of charge. In addition to donors, the Foundation is sustained by two villas on the beach that are rented out on a nightly basis. All profits from the villas are directly channeled back to the schools.
 
The Foundation is officially not religiously based, though majority of our students and surroundings are based on the values of Islam. In addition, the Zanzibar curriculum has a religion class based on the teachings of Islam.
