At Safaricontinents, we recognize that many rural communities living near Africa’s wilderness areas face deep, long-standing poverty. In several of these vital regions, a majority of families live on extremely limited incomes, with few sustainable economic opportunities, all while sharing their daily lives with wildlife and the challenges that come with it.

We believe that communities who help protect nature should also benefit directly from its conservation. Our approach focuses on two key goals: reducing the pressures that conservation can place on local people—such as human–wildlife conflict—and increasing the positive rewards by creating nature-linked income opportunities that grow alongside healthy ecosystems.

Access to strong, reliable education is essential for building empowered and resilient communities. Safaricontinents supports this by funding scholarships, providing classroom materials, and partnering with local schools to improve learning environments. Through these efforts, we help young people gain the knowledge and skills needed to pursue their dreams, strengthening both their futures and the long-term well-being of the ecosystems around them.
