The story

Zanzibar's stone-town carvers and kanga printers are ageing, and the apprenticeships that used to carry the craft forward have thinned. This fund supplies tool kits and a small apprentice stipend to workshops that take on a new learner.

What a donation buys

25 USD — a starter carving-tool kit
60 USD — one apprentice's monthly stipend
200 USD — a workshop's quarter of tools and stipends

Workshops, apprentice names, and a materials ledger are published quarterly.
