One Year of Stationery Support – A Gift for Orphaned Children

The new school term is just around the corner in Zanzibar. To ensure every child starts their educational journey equipped and excited, we at Assalam Community Foundation are doing the Stationary and Gift Bag Distribution Project.
These special bags, created with care and love, are for all orphaned children in Zanzibar. Our vocational school graduates have sewn the school bags, filled them with stationery for a year, and included thoughtful surprises like handmade dolls for girls and football sets for boys. With every bag distributed, we’re building a foundation for a brighter future, one child and one community at a time.

Join us in spreading joy and supporting education for Zanzibar’s orphaned children.

How to Donate

  • €50: Provides a complete stationary and gift bag for one child.
  • €100: Supports two children with school bags, stationery, and surprises.
  • Flexible Contributions: Any amount helps make a difference.
