Zanzibar- a beautiful but very poor island in Tanzania- is economically hit very hard by the absence of tourism. There is no work for people who work in the industry or depend on the industry for a living. Due to the lack of income, these people are forced to live below the poverty line.

Originalhome works together with a WFTO fair trade wine bottle recycling workshop in Zanzibar for many years and they could really use some extra support. Although we have been producing with them during the Covid crisis, our workload has not been enough. They have come to a point that they cannot support their workers any longer. With the Aid Through Trade social gift promotion, originalhome raises fund to donate rice (or basic needs) to the artisans in Zanzibar in need.

The COVID-19 Aid Through Trade promotion supports a dual cause. The social gifts are a perfect way for your customers to spread a positive message to friends and family, and do something good for the artisans who are affected by the corona crisis. Our social gifts are packed in eco-friendly gift boxes that contain a personal message for those you want to surprise this Christmas.

Originalhome donates 5 kgs rice to the artisans of upcycled bottle project in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Not only will rice be donated to the people in need but through the sales of the social gifts, we can help ensure continued work at the workshop in Zanzibar.
