How to help us

HABS provides free health care services and education to people in need on Zanzibar. The Jambiani Wellness Center hosts volunteer health care practitioners from all over the world who come to provide treatments for patients who would otherwise not be able to afford this type of assistance.

The Jambiani Tourism Training Institute provides educational opportunities for individuals who are eager to learn but do not have an adequate financial background to be in a position to pay.

Everyone who works with HABS does so as a volunteer so all donations go directly to support our programs be it to provide meals for our students, purchasing school and clinic supplies as well as contributing to the ongoing costs associated with providing the infrastructures that we have in place to do what we do.
