PROJECTS

We implement important projects that effectively meet the needs of some of the most vulnerable people and wildlife in southern Africa. Our projects provide communities with the infrastructure, resources, training and support needed to be more effective and make the world a better place. Our projects are grass-roots and community led and supported by our expert team of local staff which means they are locally relevant. Our projects are carefully planned and effectively implemented over long time horizons by our small but committed team, which means they have high impact and are sustainable. Our projects aim to help meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

educate a child
Contribute towards educating and feeding an orphaned or vulnerable child in Eswatini. We run 8 Neighborhood Care Points (NCPs) in Eswatini in partnership with local communities providing early childhood education and two nutritious meals a day to over 200 orphaned and vulnerable children in the crucial pre-school age.  

feed a family
Help provide food to a family that needs it most during this Corona Virus Pandemic. The economic havoc wreaked by COVID-19 has wiped out jobs and small businesses and many families are struggling to put food on the table. We buy food packages with enough food to last a family a month and deliver them to those families in Eswatini, Hout Bay (South Africa) and Tofo (Mozambique) that need it most. 

let's play
Support us to get children and youth playing sport. We teach swimming, ball skills, cycling, running and fun activity games to young orphaned and vulnerable children Eswatini. We run a youth football league Eswatini, support a basketball initiative in Hout Bay (South Africa) and support a life guard program in Tofo (Mozambique). Help us reach more for health, team work, skills development, leadership and fun for those who otherwise would not have the opportunity!

savannah RESEARCH
The savannah ecosystem of NE Eswatini is part of the Maputaland biodiversity hotspot an area of global conservation priority. We investigate the dynamics of this ecosystem and monitor it's threatened wildlife to advise conservation efforts, whilst training young local ecologists.

build a future
Support us to build small infrastructure needed for community wellbeing including classrooms, toilets, soup kitchens, homes, water supply and waste facilities. We identify needed infrastructure working with community leadership authorities then fundraise to purchase the materials and labour to complete the build while managing the whole project from start to finish with the expertise of our local team.

marine research
Help us monitor threatened marine life off the coast of Mozambique in the Tofo and Inhambane area. We research whale sharks, leopard sharks, guitar fish, manta rays, stingrays, humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, turtles and more! Help discover important information that can help better conserve these threatened species.

community eco-tourism
We help communities in rural Eswatini develop eco-tourism facilities and attractions. We also help market these to encourage visitation. This contributes towards natural heritage conservation, community empowerment and socio-economic development. We have worked with various local communities, national partners (including ETA and ENTC) as well as various international partners (including UNDP, CEPF, GEF).

enter-prize
Support entrepreneurship development through enterprise education for youth, micro-finance support and business mentoring. The only real solution to poverty alleviation is creating sustainable micro-enterprises and supporting them to grow.

reforestation
We help plant indigenous trees in places that need it. Not only does this reforest areas with native species thereby restoring biodiversity but it also creates awareness about and appreciation for our natural heritage encouraging a conservation ethic. We plant trees at events such as Bushfire and World Environment day, at schools, at community centres and in Nature Reserves.
