Reflections on 2020

December 22, 2020 Shanga Foundation

What a year with highs, lows, and everything in between!

This year has presented challenges for everyone. It would have been easy to focus on the difficulties but at Shanga we chose a different route. With your support and generosity we explored and implemented diversification activities and increased our exposure around the world. This approach has supported our team during these unpresented times.

What has this looked like:-

  • SUPPORT from the local community by taking part in our “Empty the Glass Containers” campaign.

  • GROWING international customers.

  • ESTABLISHING new Shanga stockists.

  • DONATIONS from individuals, community organizations and businesses including: Dwelling (www.dwellingjh.com) (USA), Sunnybrook Community Church (USA) and the Elewana Collection Pamoja Fund.

This year’s highlights:

  • Invited to join the UN Facilities, Arusha to celebrate international Women’s Day 2020.

  • Mount Kilimanjaro was climbed by Masoud, one of our amazing team members. Seeing him achieve a life-long dream was very special.

  • Played and started to build our internal Glass Garden.

  • Awarded the Minor Groups 2019 Best Sustainability Award. 

  • Celebrated International Day for People with Disabilities.

  • Trained all the Shanga team in health and nutrition for them and their families.

From all the team at Shanga we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for standing with and encouraging us. This assisted in giving us strength and keeping us motivated. As we bid farewell to 2020, we look forward to sharing our ongoing  journey with you. Wishing you and your families a happy, safe and peaceful holiday season.
