PAOLA GONZÁLEZ
I founded Karibu Edu Foundation with the purpose of supporting the communities of Zanzibar, a beautiful island in Tanzania that, despite receiving thousands of tourists each year, is home to 2 million people living in extreme poverty. By living and working within this community, I witnessed firsthand the challenges in essential areas such as education, health, and the environment. That’s why I decided to transform individual support into a collective effort, giving life to a foundation that now reaches different parts of the world. With offices in Spain and Austria, our mission remains to improve the quality of life for the people of Zanzibar and beyond, through the power of collaboration.
After collaborating with various foundations, I discovered that my true calling is to contribute in my own way to improving the lives of those who need it most. Supporting Karibu Edu Foundation means helping to build a more equitable future—providing opportunities and resources that empower communities facing significant challenges, such as limited access to education and healthcare. It means putting empathy into action, understanding that the well-being of all is interconnected. As the coordinator of Karibu Edu Foundation, I work to connect resources and committed individuals who support the development of communities in Africa.
