Reclaim Women Space is an NGO set up to counter the marginalisation of spaces for women in the public realm and to better the position of women in Zanzibar. The organisation promotes safe public spaces and creates opportunities for women to shine. Reclaim Women Space believes that women’s access to the public sphere is about much more than having a place to chat with friends- it is symbolic of the economic, social, and political power they hold in society, and their ability to share ideas and solve problems communally. The organisation is a bottom-up local effort aiming to empower women to work together to take back public spaces that have been overrun or co-opted for other purposes and to create new spaces that better serve their communities. Their focus is on employing female engineers and hosting skills classes that teach women everything from masonry to running a business. Using a technique called "memory mapping," Reclaim Women's Space asks women from across several generations to draw memories of their favourite public spaces in Stone Town and imagine ones they would like to see in the future in an effort to improve the community's livelihood.

Reclaim Women Space will use the building as its base and use it for their programmes and activities. RWS will be consulted for actively involving women groups in the programming as well as employment that comes with the rehabilitation of the building
