Meeting the Heart of Zanzibar – Its People
A Visit to More Africa: A Heartfelt Experience Beyond Tourism
Zanzibar is known for its stunning beaches and rich culture, but your visit to More Africa will introduce you to a side of the island that will touch your heart in ways never expected. In the village of Jambiani, on the same location as Blooming Zanzibar, More Africa is more than just a school—it’s a sanctuary of hope, learning, and community for children with disabilities.
A warm welcome
As soon as you arrive, the kids will greet you with bright smiles and curious eyes. The children, each with their own unique talents, are being thought by an amazing team of local women, eager to share their world. The school itself feels like a home—colorful, vibrant, and filled with laughter. It's a place where these children could thrive, despite the challenges they face.
A place of hope and inclusion
More Africa is not a tourist attraction; it’s a safe space where vulnerable children receive specialized education, therapy, and support. Out of respect for their well-being, visitors are not allowed to work directly with the children or take photographs, which we hope makes sense—the kids' safety, dignity, and privacy come first. Your visit will be focused on learning about the foundation’s mission and how travelers can contribute in meaningful ways.
Learning, growing and playing together
One of the most beautiful aspects of More Africa is it's approach to education. The children learn in small groups tailored to their individual needs, receiving therapy, life skills training, and, most importantly, love and encouragement. You will get the chance to join a class, watching as the teachers patiently guided the kids through activities.
Understanding the impact
The dedication of the team behind More Africa is huge. They don’t just provide education; they advocate for inclusion in a society where children with disabilities often face stigma and limited opportunities. Their work extends beyond the classroom, offering outreach programs to families and supporting sustainable projects that help the community grow.
You will get the opportunity to speak with the dedicated founder who is running More Africa since 2015. The staff will share stories about their work, the challenges they face, and the progress they’ve made in creating more inclusive opportunities for children with disabilities in Zanzibar.
We hope you will see the passion and dedication behind our efforts, and we hope to inspire you with that.
More Africa is more than a school—it’s a lifeline. Many of the children who come here wouldn’t have access to education or therapy otherwise. The NGO also provides support to families, helping to break down the stigma surrounding disabilities in the local community.
A visit that changes you
More Africa will be more than just a visit—we hope it will be an experience that leaves a deep imprint on your heart. We hope it's a powerful reminder of the importance of responsible travel. Supporting a community doesn’t always mean direct interaction; sometimes, the best thing you can do is listen, learn, and find respectful ways to help. It will be a reminder that travel isn’t just about places, but about people and the impact we can have when we take the time to connect.
If you’re in Zanzibar and looking for a way to give back, More Africa is a place worth visiting. Not for the sake of seeing, but for the sake of understanding—and supporting.
