Over 87,000 exercise books, hand delivered

Since July 2018 we have personally delivered more than 87,000 exercise books over 20 school visits. We have also delivered nearly 13,000 pens, over 9,000 pencils, and erasers, sharpeners, rulers, chalk and school bags. The deliveries have gone to 17 primary schools in Marsabit, Samburu, Isiolo and Laikipia. Each drive now reaches around 1,200 children, and we return to the same schools year after year.

Most of the exercise books are generously donated by an anonymous donor. We source the rest and deliver everything ourselves.

Over 1,300 pieces of kit for the people who protect wildlife

Rangers walk long patrols in some of Kenya’s hottest landscapes. We have provided 895 insulated, refillable water flasks and 477 Camelbak hydration packs to rangers, scouts, fence attendants and carers. They are in use at nine reserves, conservancies and conservation organisations, from Samburu,Shaba and Sera to Tsavo, the Mara and Solio. The flasks also replace single-use plastic bottles on patrol.

Over 100,000 indigenous seedlings at Solio Game Reserve

Since 2023 we have bought and donated over 130 kg of indigenous tree seed to Solio Game Reserve in Laikipia, and we help maintain its tree nursery. More than 100,000 seedlings have been grown there from our seed.

Growing the next generation of conservationists

Our partnership with Mara Elephant Project began in 2022, when we funded the Fran Duthie African Elephant Conservation Scholarship for a Kenyan woman studying for a Master’s in conservation. In 2023 we helped launch conservation clubs in five primary schools near Mara Elephant Project’s Coexistence Farm, and the programme has grown every year since:

• 2025: 921 learners in 12 schools; 3,575 trees planted by students; 7 new wildlife clubs
• 2026: all 14 schools reached, with nearly 3,000 learner participations by September and 939 students in mentorship and career guidance
• In Mara Elephant Project’s 2026 survey, 96% of learners said they feel personally responsible for protecting the environment. Two former mentees from Loita High School are now studying Tourism at Maasai Mara University and Nursing at KMTC.

A snake handler for a whole community

Since July 2025 we have funded the salary of Tsavo Trust’s professional snake handler. He has safely relocated 46 snakes away from homes, supported families after snakebites, and talked hundreds of community members through snake safety and first aid.

Keeping people and elephants apart in Tsavo

Since July 2026 we have funded the salaries of the three fence attendants who maintain Tsavo Trust’s 33 km elephant exclusion fence in Kamungi Conservancy. Between July and September 2026 they:

• Patrolled about 2,168 km
• Kept the fence running 96–100% of the time
• Helped guide four elephants safely back into the park

Since the fence was completed, human–elephant conflict incidents have fallen from 500 in 2021 to 33 in 2025, according to Tsavo Trust’s 2026 assessment.

More than a tonne of seedballs

Seedballs are indigenous tree seeds coated in charcoal dust, so they can wait in the soil for the rains. With our partners we have dispersed over 1,000 kg of seedballs including the below:

• Lumo Community Wildlife Conservancy: 725 kg
• Samburu National Reserve: 200 kg
• Solio Game Reserve: 100 kg
• Schools in Northern Kenya: a further 72 kg

Dignity and opportunity for girls

Over 600 reusable sanitary kits to schoolgirls, female teachers and conservancy staff in Marsabit, Samburu, Laikipia and the Mara.

2,120 food hampers for rangers in hard times

During the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2021–22 drought, rangers and community scouts kept working while tourism stopped. We delivered over 2,120 food hampers to rangers and scouts in Samburu County.
