‘Dada’ in Swahili means sister and is a term that is used for addressing an elder sister or another woman respectfully. Dada is a new project by solarafrica.network set up as a socially responsible business network with women in the rural north of Unguja island. Dada is creating job opportunities by providing the women with training in food processing suchas drying fruit and spices, cooking jams, condiments and snacks and baking breads and pastries as well as soaps and marketing their products locally and nationally.
artisan production and product availability
Dada is a brand that stands for quality, integrity and originality of food stuff
made in Zanzibar.
Our range of handmade jams and mustards, cereals, snacks, pastries,
sweets as well as the dried fruits and roll‐ups have been made with great
care and attention to detail.
Generally our products are made in small quantities to guarantee their quality
and freshness.
Furthermore, the majority of our raw materials – mainly fruit and vegetables – are
seasonal and cannot be available all the time. Please inquire about making an
order if you are wishing to purchase larger quantities.
environment and renewable energies
As far as possible we practise good environmental policies across all our
business activities contributing to less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Whenever weather conditions permit, solar cookers and solar ovens are used
to cook and fry. Solar dryers are used to dry fruit and spices.
During times of less favourite weather we prepare our products on specially made
firewood saving stoves using wood from local plantations.
We purchase our ingredients from local quality wholesalers and fruit and vegetables
are sourced from small scale farmers in the area.
Whenever possible we use organically farmed produce. - Dada Zanzibar website
