Sand River Region Projects
Learn more about the projects we are supporting together to benefit the communities and wildlife that share this vital region between the Maasai Mara and Naimina Enkiyio (The Sacred Forest of the Lost Child).
Education Sponsorships
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world” (Nelson Mandela). We know this because we have seen it from our very own education sponsorship programme.
Laresoro Dispensary
We are partnered with Kalama Community Wildlife Conservancy to support the Laresoro Dispensary. It is the only dispensary in the area, and it serves a very dispersed catchment area of nomadic pastoralist Samburu people who live traditionally alongside Kalama’s and the Samburu National Reserve’s wildlife.
Shompole Teachers
Together, we are supporting the salaries of 12 dedicated teachers across 9 schools in the Shompole region in the Rift Valley in Kenya. This is directly impacting the accessibility of education for over 2000 students and their families.
KPSGA
With your support, we are helping the KPSGA to continue to update its curriculum to help more guides progress in their careers and become better custodians of Kenya’s incredible natural heritage.
Loisaba Rangers and Rhinos
You are helping to empower the Loisaba Rangers with the equipment and support needed to stand at the front line of conservation to protect their reintroduced rhino and safeguard the 57,000-acre Loisaba Conservancy, which is home to over 260 bird and 50 mammal species in Laikipia, Kenya.
Collaring for Co-existence
You are supporting GPS lion tracking collars as part of Lion Landscapes’ Collaring for Coexistence Programme. The collars provide real-time data to alert livestock owners and ranger teams to potential conflict, helping protect livestock and promote peaceful coexistence between people and lions.
Chyulu Rhino Project
There are only 7 black rhinos left in the Chyulu Hills National Park, but this project will bring them back from the brink, and strengthen the entire critically endangered eastern black rhino gene pool.
Reteti Elephant Sanctuary
Reteti is the first community owned and operated elephant sanctuary in Kenya. Its mission is to rescue and release orphaned and abandoned elephant calves, whilst creating much-needed benefits for the local people that live alongside them.
