"Chako started in a small workplace in a boutiqe hotel, where local woman created products from recycled waste. As it grew, the need arose for a bigger place to accommodate more products, giving birth to CHAKO!
Our mission is to increase economic opportunity in the island Zanzibar by enabling artisan craft producers in Zanzibar to expand their product ranges, establish networks and connect with broader markets.
We initial worked according the “Tourist2Tourist” concept, meaning we make souvenirs for tourists from the waste that tourists directly produce. This offers tourists a way to reduce their negative impact on the island with a positive approach; by buying original, innovative souvenirs for friends and family.
Nowadays, our products do not only reach tourists, but also other people around the globe.
CHAKO focuses on making gender inequality less significant, by giving women the chance to develop their selves and to become more aware of their strengths and power.
By creating employment, educating, training, empowering and exposing the women, they become more self-aware and independent. We are encouraging women on Zanzibar to be creative, show their power and learn them to work in a professional environment.
By employing the women they receive a reliable monthly income which creates a more stable situation for their families and themselves."
