傳統上,尚吉巴群島的女孩們並不被鼓勵學習游泳,主因是伊斯蘭文化的嚴格戒律,以及合宜泳裝的缺乏。但在尚吉巴群島北端的村落,「Panje(意為大魚)計畫」提供了當地婦女穿全身泳裝學習游泳技能的機會,讓她們可以在不違背文化和宗教信仰的前提下游泳。

Traditionally, girls in the Zanzibar archipelago are discouraged from learning how to swim, largely because of the strictures of a conservative Islamic culture and the absence of modest swimwear. But in villages on the northern tip of Zanzibar, the Panje Project (panje translates as ‘big fish’) is providing opportunities for local women and girls to acquire swimming skills in full-length swimsuits, so that they can enter the water without compromising their cultural or religious beliefs.
