Helping to teach languages while enjoying beauty of Zanzibar

The experience

My name is Nourdin I am director and I operate an NGO that empowers youth to achieve what seems impossible. What began as informal lessons to several people in a small room of his house has quickly grown, with over 350 students currently benefiting from Nourdin’s initiatives. OHED offers courses in English, German, French and life skills such as work readiness to prepare students for a brighter future. The education centre doubles as a home.
