About Us
CHAKO creates awareness about the waste problem on the island among tourists and the local community. CHAKO invites craft workers to the workshop where they become familiar with the meaning of upcycling, learn about target groups and the various products existing in the marketplace. Through co-creative design thinking workshops, artisan craft workers in Zanzibar are stimulated and encouraged to independently create upcycled, hip products. This stimulates social and economic empowerment whilst promoting sustainability. By collaborating with different partners on the island, a bigger platform is created for artisan craft producers in Zanzibar using waste material. Through awareness campaigns, local Zanzibari are encouraged to create up-cycled products as well. CHAKO collects empty bottles and plastic at hotels, resorts, restaurants and dumping places. So the concept of recycling is introduced in the day-to-day life for local Zanzibari.

Mission Statement

Chako is a green, social enterprise where local artisans develop unique upcycled interior design objects and accessories.
