Three sub projects fall within this programme, run as an outreach activity attached to the Zanzibar Film Festival.

Many women in the Mkoani district of Zanzibar live in very difficult circumstances. This programme aims to train them and give them life skills that will enable them to start cottage industries using recycled raw materials, cook more nutritious meals to improve their family's health and start small businesses leading to greater self sufficiency.

Intensive fishing of the shallow seas off Chake has meant local fishermen are struggling to catch enough for their families.

A second project aims to educate fishermen on good fishing habits including the need to preserve the coral reefs, the need to alternate fishing zones, introducing them to fresh water fish farming and developing a culture of returning any small fish caught to sea.

The third project looks to help young mothers care for their sick babies. Because of disease, poor diet and hygiene many babies fall sick and often their mothers are ill prepared to look after them. This project will help identify mothers and babies most at risk and put in place the steps to protect them.

Funds raised will help meet the costs of providing the resources required to run a series of educational workshops that will cater for the specific requirements of all three groups.
