KANISA ANGLIKANA ZANZIBAR KUKARABATI MAENEO YA KIHISTORIA (Anglican Cathedral In Zanzibar to House Anti Human Trafficking Centre)

SWAHILI VERSION 

Kanisa Anglikana Dayosisi ya Zanzibar (ADZ) inaendelea kufanya ukarabati wa kanisa la kristo Zanzibar  kwa kutengeneza na kuelimisha na kuongoza uelewa wa historia ya Biashara ya utumwa Zanzibar na biashara ya haramu ya usafirishaji watu afrika mashariki na Dunia kwa ujumla .

ADZ ambayo inamilikiwa na kanisa la Anglikana Tanzania kwa kushirikiana na kampuni ya uwezeshaji inayohusika na  kutengeneza minara ya ukumbusho  ya Uingereza walitangaza siku ya tarehe mosi Mwezi October mwaka 2013 kuwa July 2015   mpango wa kuboresha Eneo hilo umefanikiwa kwa kiasi kikubwa

Kazi kubwa imekwisha kamilika na baadhi ya vitu vimesha rejeshwa katika hari ya mwanzo na sasa kuna  vitu vidogo vidogo ndani ya kanisa vinapangwa ili kutengeneza sehemu mbali mbali za kihistoria .

Sehemu hiyo itakuwa ikizungumzia taarifa za soko la utumwa kwa watoto wadogo kwa kutumia lugha zote mbili Kiswahili na kiingereza

Katika dhana ya kufanya biashara ya watu mradi huo utalenga zaidi kuwafundisha watu juu ya kuwaelimisha watu na kuwapa elimu ya kutosha kuhusu biashara ya watu inayofanywa na  ambavyo imeenea Huku Zanzibar ikiwa ni moja kati ya sehemu ilioathirika Zaidi na inasemekana kuwa sasa hivi biashara hiyo imeshamiri kuliko hata Biashara ya Utumwa  hasa kwa watoto wadogo

 ADZ inatumai kuwa itaongeza uelewa kwa jamii juu ya biashara mbaya ya kuuuza watu pasi na ridhaa yao au hata wakiwa wameridhia katika ukanda wa afrika mashariki na ulimwenguni  ili kuwafanya wageni wapate uelewa  na kwenda kuwafundisha watu wengine . na uwasilishwaji wa elimu hizo utakuwa  kwa  lugha zote mbili na kwa lugha za alama.

ENGLISH VERSION 

The Anglican Diocese of Zanzibar (ADZ) is moving forward with renovations of Christ Church Cathedral to create a centre to raise awareness about the history of slavery in Zanzibar and current human trafficking realities in East Africa and worldwide.

The ADZ, which belongs to the Anglican Church of Tanzania, embarked on the project on 1 October 2013 in partnership with World Monuments Fund Britain and announced in its July 2015 newsletter that efforts to raise its portion of grant funding had been successful.

Work on the exterior has been completed and restoration now is in progress of the cathedral’s interior, in particular on the creation of a planned Heritage and Education Centre.

The heritage centre will retell the story of the East African slave trade in a form accessible to school children, in both English and Kiswahili.

An anti-human trafficking focus will feature centrally in the project. The centre intends to educate about modern-day realities, including the fact that there are now more slaves on the planet than at any previous time in history, with trafficking of women figuring as the world’s second largest industry, and that Zanzibar once again is serving as a trafficking point, especially of children.

The ADZ hopes to raise public awareness of human trafficking today both in East Africa and across the globe, and suggest concrete action that visitors can take to join in combating the crisis.The centre also aims to promote interfaith and inter-communal dialogue and understanding.The centre and its exhibits will be accessible for people living with disabilities, including tours in Sign Language.
