			'''Local context'''

			The Zanzibar Circles took place at Zanzalu, a local community pop-up hub bringing together residents and international guests. Zanzibar, like much of Tanzania, faces a youth employment crisis, with high rates of unemployment and limited access to educational and vocational opportunities. The Circle aimed to identify a practical, achievable project that could make a tangible difference for young people in the community.

			The sessions focused on supporting the Straight Training Center, a community-run school for underprivileged and at-risk children, with the aim of helping the children become more emplyable in the face of the crisis.

			'''Raise US$1,500 to secure the school location for another year of education'''

			* '''Goal:''' Help the school pay its rent for 2026 to continue providing mentorship, support, and educational opportunities to the children.
			* '''Status:''' In progress. Donations are actively being collected.
			* '''Donate here:''' https://donate.straighttraining.center/
