Stone Town Heritage Conservation
by World Unite!
Program Overview
Stone Town of Zanzibar is a unique place that has been protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000. Its rich history of seafarers, explorers, sultans, and traders from Africa, Persia, Arabia, India, and Europe is reflected in the town's extraordinary architecture and narrow labyrinth of lanes and squares.
You can do an internship or volunteer placement with the Zanzibar Stone Town Heritage Society, which has set a goal to conserve Stone Town and its unique culture.
The aim is to raise awareness amongst citizens for Stone Town's cultural heritage and its conservation; to raise technical and financial support for the conservation of historical buildings; to create partnerships between various interest groups; to carry out activities that foster the cultural diversity of Stone Town; to do research about Stone Town; and to offer educational programs for Stone Town's citizens.
