Our Mission
Rural communities near conservation areas in Africa face significant challenges, including limited access to clean water, food insecurity, inadequate healthcare and education, and lack of economic opportunities. While living adjacent to valuable conservation areas and tourism destinations, there is tremendous opportunity to create more equitable benefit-sharing that supports both conservation goals and community prosperity. We aim to address these issues through community-driven partnerships and sustainable development initiatives.
What We Do
We partner with established local organizations in rural African communities near conservation areas, providing funding, resources, and capacity building to support community-driven development. Our approach centers on extensive community consultation, ensuring that programming reflects local priorities rather than imposed solutions. We work through trusted local partners who collaborate with traditional leaders, women’s groups, local government, and health and education departments.
