The power of the moving image is incredible and through film a message can reach hundreds of people at a time. It is Maajabu's intention to use this medium to show people the wonder of the natural world, the environmental issues we face and some of the ways in which we can help to solve these. The name Maajabu, which means 'amazing, wonderful' in kiswahili, was chosen to reflect the dynamic effect of film on people and its ability to pass on incredible images.Maajabu aims to achieve its target by:

• distributing films for film makers
• giving people access to videos through the creation of a video library
• using a big screen and projector to show films

Maajabu acts as a distribution point for directors and companies making films who want their films to reach a wide audience. Maajabu has the contacts and ability to get films out to exactly the people they are meant for. Films will be distributed freely, but donations in exchange are welcome. Many films have been donated and collected by Maajabu, resulting in a video library of ……..films, comprising wildlife documentaries and films about various environmental issues in both Kiswahili and English. Films can be borrowed, free of charge, through schools and associations after an initial membership fee. The mobile unit is available for use by any registered organisation that would like to show environmental based educational films, for the cost of operating and transport only. Maajabu also aims to cover the cost of showing films to primary and secondary schools through donations.
