LANGUAGES 4 Life
Fluency in English opens doors to a brighter future, but many students in Zanzibar lack the confidence to speak the language due to limited instruction in government schools. At ZL4LF, we offer dynamic language courses for students aged 8 and older, taught by our passionate former students who inspire with their love for language. We also offer specialized courses, such as English for the hospitality industry, to help students prepare for specific career paths.
To support Zanzibar’s growing tourism industry, we offer French and German courses for aspiring tour guides, with the help of visiting volunteers. Our ultimate goal is to train students to become the next generation of language teachers at ZL4LF, empowering them to pass on their skills to others.
Books and Computers 4 Life
Many of our students lack access to the resources they need to succeed, which is why our library and computer room are such valuable spaces. We lend a variety of books, including those on science, math, business, and languages, as well as dictionaries and encyclopedias. Thanks to generous support from the Rotary Club of Zanzibar, our computer room is fully equipped with internet access (provided by Zanlink!). Our skilled technician also refurbishes donated laptops—so if you're visiting Zanzibar, consider leaving your old device with us to help our students thrive!
Hujambo Sijambo 4 Life
We believe in the power of global connections and the lasting friendships that can form across cultures. Through our Hujambo Sijambo program, we connect students with pen pals from around the world, whether by email or traditional mail. In exchange, we offer Swahili lessons for volunteers and expats, giving them the chance to share their culture and skills with our students. This exchange creates meaningful opportunities for both learning and personal growth.
