Ol Pejeta Conservancy

The Ol Pejeta Conservancy is an important "not-for-profit" wildlife conservancy in the Laikipia District of Kenya and the largest sanctuary for black rhinos in East Africa. Tourism helps to sustain conservancy efforts by Ol Pejeta but the pandemic has greatly affected their revenue. Support their efforts by donating here.

Naivasha Children's Shelter

Naivasha Children's Shelter is a rehabilitation home for former street children and their mission is to reunite children with their families. This year, they have been able to rescue 70 children from the streets, reunite 40 children (and counting) with their families, provide skills training to 12 older children who were not prepared to return to school, and provide monthly food aid to 24 families affected by the pandemic.

Please support their Christmas drive here.
