Charity Distribution

The charity wing of ZOP now operates as both a distributor of donated charity items and in partnership with other NGOs around the archipelago. Charity donations are collected from many parts of the world including Oman, Dubai, the UK and Denmark, as well as locally in Zanzibar.

The Pemban villages of Micheweni, Sebudawa, and Maziwa Ng’ombe and in Unguja, Charawe and Bubwini have all received charity in the form of donated second-hand clothes.

It was because of the outreach work in schools (the School Health Monitoring Project) that the charity arm of ZOP came into being. Levels of poverty were noted and in response, ZOP started a  charity  project.  It  now  operates  as  both  a  distributor  of  donated  charity  items  and  in partnership  with  other  NGOs  around  the  archipelago.

Most of the charity items are used  clothes, household objects and food. ZOP collects these items throughout the world but mainly from Oman and   the UK.  Once there  is  enough  collected,  a  date  is  set  for  the  distribution  of  the  items  to  the  needy communities in Zanzibar.  With donations from Oman, Dar-es-Salaam and London, ZOP was able to make a lot of people happy. The collected charity items, which  included bags of dates, books  and clothes, were distributed to several villages in Unguja and Pemba
