The Happy Africa Under Sun (HAUS) project aims to empower Zanzibaris with knowledge and practical tools to protect themselves against the harmful effects of the sun through a multi-faceted approach:
What we are doing now
Increasing Awareness in the Community
Educational Campaigns: HAUS will conduct awareness drives to educate Zanzibaris on the risks of prolonged sun exposure, such as skin cancer, sunburn, and premature aging.
Health Benefits of Sun Protection: Emphasizing how protecting skin from harmful UV rays improves overall well-being and prevents long-term health issues.
Community Events: Hosting events such as seminars, workshops, and interactive sessions to engage the public and demonstrate sun protection techniques.
Training on Sunscreen Production
Knowledge Transfer: HAUS will train individuals and companies on how to produce sunscreens using affordable and locally sourced ingredients.
Skill Development: Practical sessions on the step-by-step process of making sunscreen, from selecting the right ingredients to maintaining quality and safety standards.
Accessible Equipment: Guidance on using cost-effective equipment to facilitate small-scale or larger-scale production, enabling local entrepreneurs to enter the sun-care industry.
