This project was created to promote education as a tool that can help conserve and enhance the earth’s biological diversity. The organization employs a unique combination of education, and communication strategies to achieve its goals. For example to promote the culture, environmental awareness and heritage of this beautiful country to help the poorest residents in developing the skills and resources they need to achieve a healthy lifestyle and sustainable livelihood.
Zanzibar Internship & Volunteer Organization (ZIVO) is created since 2007 by the shared ambition of a few local people to provide technical, educational, and hands-on volunteer support to grassroots community projects on the island of Zanzibar, Tanzania, to improve living conditions of its inhabitants. Services are provided to all people regardless of gender, age, tribe, ethnicity, disability or religion.
Problem statement: the local community has less education on environmental conservation.
Goal: to teach individuals and communities, in transitioning to a society that is knowledgeable of the environment and its associated problems, aware of the solutions to these problems, and motivated to solve them.
