The communities surrounding protected wildlife areas in Africa are key stakeholders in conservation. The work that we support aims to help communities to thrive both socially and economically while living in harmony with the surrounding wilderness areas.
Community Outreach
Community Upliftment in Africa
UPLIFT (Unlocking Prosperous Livelihoods for Tomorrow), developed by the Grumeti Fund, is a program focused on community upliftment in Africa. This outreach program is specifically designed to enhance the livelihoods of individuals living along the boundary of the Grumeti concessions.
Youth Education in Africa
Youth education in Africa is a key element in equipping communities with the knowledge and skills needed to pursue rewarding careers, as well as an awareness and commitment to sustainable conservation.
Enterprise Development
Alternative options for income and business development in Africa need to be realized so that households that rely on poaching revenue can break free from their dependence on these illegal activities.
Environmental & Wildlife Conservation Education
Successful and sustainable wildlife preservation is only possible when quality environmental and wildlife conservation education is in place. ACCF supports Grumeti Fund’s focus on environmental education and the critical role each individual plays in minimizing his or her impact on the earth’s limited resources.
