Next generation wildlife heroes

Access to education is a critical tool in the effort to protect animals and nature. Standardising education has far-reaching positive outcomes, particularly in eradicating poverty. When education becomes universally accessible and consistent, it equips individuals with essential skills and knowledge to secure a prosperous future for themselves, their families and our planet.

A well-educated population leads to stronger economies and helps break the cycle of poverty by providing equal opportunities for future generations, improving health outcomes, reducing inequality, and fostering social stability. Standardised education creates a foundation for sustainable development, empowering individuals and communities to lift themselves out of poverty and build more prosperous societies.

OUR WORK

Today, many children in rural African communities are unable to attend school due to the financial constraints of their families. Wildhood’s scholarship program helps address this issue by providing education to children and youth in villages near wilderness areas, while also incorporating wildlife and environmental conservation into their learning. The scholarships cover school fees, uniforms, and educational materials for students at 14 partner schools.

Our scholarships have ripple effects throughout entire communities.
By alleviating the financial burden on families, the scholarships offer significant support to both the households and the schools. In many cases, these scholarships also provide essential funding to schools with limited resources, making them a valuable institutional asset.
