+### Mbweni Ruins
+
+Mbweni, 5km south of Zanzibar Town, was a Universities Mission to Central Africa (UMCA) base and settlement for former slaves in the 19th century. The ruins of St Mary’s School for Girls, built by missionaries for girls freed from slave ships, is now set amid the lush gardens of Mbweni Ruins.
+
+The Historic Ruins of the Mbweni School for freed slaves founded in 1874, with associations with Sir John Kirk, Zanzibar’s first scientific botanist. Kirk (1832 – 1922) was also instrumental in the ending of the East African Slave Trade. He was resident in Zanzibar for 20 years from 1866-1886.
+
+Near Mbweni Ruins is St John's Anglican Church, another thought-provoking reminder of the colonial missionary era. The caretaker-guide is a direct descendant of a freed slave who became the UMCA's first African deacon (junior priest).
+
+Our aim is to restore the ruins to its old glory and revive it as an education center. We will also integrate the old church.

+### Mbweni Botanical Garden & Restoration Project
+
+The gardens around the ruins are super beautiful, they are being revived to become even more majestic. The garden is a beautiful and mature garden with many fine tree specimens and other interesting plants. Many mature trees that were propagated from the original garden of Kirk, which is now the nearby residence of the former Zanzibar President Amani Abeid Karume.
+
+Its mature and rainforest (jungle) atmosphere is only found in a few other places in Zanzibar and Pemba. Areas of native plants, specifically coral rag forest on the cliff and mangroves on the shoreline.
