The Calabash has always been a useful item for African communities - used to nourish, develop and grow people by being used to carry water and grain, to make music as a rattle, or to hold herbs and medicinal compounds. It is flexible enough to be used in many different ways. This is how the Calabash Trust likes to see itself, and indeed is seen by many of the communities we serve.
"Calabash Trust, making tourism work for the local communities!"
