WORKING 4 LIFE

In Zanzibar, many businesses are uncertain about the local workforce’s skills, which is why we’ve partnered with the Zanzibar Schools Project to create a course that prepares students for the job market. The curriculum covers essential topics like communication, employer expectations, and job search strategies. Through our strong connections with local businesses and educational institutions, ZL4LF graduates are often offered further training or internships. Looking ahead, we plan to host workshops across the island, sponsored by local employers, to enhance job readiness. Thanks to recent training, we are now self-sufficient in management, accounting, and website design.

TRAINING

ZL4LF graduates have the opportunity to attend the KAWA Training Centre, an NGO that trains locals to become professional tour guides, helping them tap into Zanzibar’s vibrant tourism industry.

Additionally, One Ocean offers diving expeditions around Zanzibar, and many ZL4LF graduates who trained with them are now qualified to lead diving and scuba trips, further building their careers in the tourism sector.

EMPLOYMENT

ZL4LF has strong connections with local cafes and restaurants, which regularly recruit from our pool of graduates for roles such as waiters, waitresses, and other catering staff. Our graduates are currently working at popular spots like Lukmaan, Taperia, and Radha Café, contributing to the local economy and gaining valuable work experience.
