Stronger Together: Make a Difference in Africa

Some clients have contacted us to ask how they might be able to make a positive difference in Africa in lieu of travel during this challenging time. While there are many important projects and causes that would benefit from contributions, we selected just a few to use as a starting point.

Bushcamp Company's US-based registered 501(c)(3) charity, Friends of Charity Begins at Home. It supports education, wildlife, land conservation, infrastructure and health programs impacting the South Luangwa, Zambia. The company guarantees that 100% of any donation is spent on conservation and community.

The Wilderness Trust gratefully receives donations for a number of important Research, Conservation, Community Empowerment, Education, Anti-Poaching and Management Projects - including the Scorpion Anti-Poaching Unit, Children in the Wilderness, and Desert Lion Conservation efforts featured in this edition. Tax deductible donations can be made here.

The Great Plains Foundation is also committed to creating a bright future for some of the most endangered wildlife, fragile ecosystems, and remote communities in the world. Consider giving "Where it is needed most" to allow the foundation to quickly respond in the most effective ways to the rapidly changing environment we find ourselves in. Donations can be made here.
