Providing fresh organic food for the community and our guests, and finding ways to offset carbon emissions.
DURATION: 2 - 3 Hours | NAMBWA TENTED LODGE • KAZILE ISLAND LODGE
The Sijwa Project was launched in 2018 with a vision of empowering the community. The project re-purposes and re-invents all recyclable waste from African Monarch Lodges and the local community, turning it into exquisite saleable craft and art. It’s also an organic permaculture nursery to supply food for locals and lodge guests.
Enjoy being entertained and enriched by local culture.
The Sijwa Project employs 30+ community members (each supporting up to 12 others in their village).
We invite guests to visit and engage with local culture and communities, while you practise your artisan skills taught at the project.
Every visit counts: 12% of all revenue generated at the project (entrance fees, sale of artefacts, garments and food) is paid to the Mayuni Conservancy.
