Über uns

Chako is a creative, social enterprise based in Zanzibar, Tanzania. Our quality handcrafted products are made from upcycled waste material from the tourism industry otherwise destined for landfill. Chako works with young unemployed men and women to create unique upcycled interior design objects and accessories.

While the tourism industry creates a lot of opportunities for Zanzibar and its people, it does bring more waste to the beautiful island that cannot be processed on the island. That is why recycling is so important.

By providing training to unemployed local women and young unemployed people we contribute to the social, cultural and economic wellbeing of these vulnerable groups in society. Chako works according the ‘Tourist2Tourist’ concept, which aims to take the waste that tourists create and recycle it into new products that the tourists will buy and bring home with them and the local tourism establishments will decorate their places with or reuse in their restaurants.

Chako’s products offer the hospitality industry a powerful and innovative way to reduce its footprint on the island's environment while supporting and celebrating local design. At the same time, we focus on the increasing waste issue in Zanzibar and create awareness about waste among local Zanzibaris, local tourism establishments and tourists.

As the first guaranteed member of the World Fair Trade Organization on Zanzibar, Chako is a leader in promoting environmental awareness through upcycling on the island.
