The Kwanini Foundation

The Kwanini Foundation has a clear vision – we want to make a positive contribution to the future of Pemba Island by working alongside the local communities to help them understand and conserve the natural world on which they depend.

‘If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.’ ~ Traditional African Proverb

Why Kwanini? The Foundation believes in the power of questioning everything we do and recognising the impact of our actions not just on humankind but also on the animals and plants with which we share our planet.
