Why Your Support Is Needed
Funding is sought to help sustain and enhance efforts to create public awareness and conservation of wildlife in communities adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. Since 2002, volunteer educators have provided wildlife presentations and educational materials to more than 500 schools. To date, over 425,000 children, teachers and parents have learned about native flora and fauna and the importance of protecting natural systems for future generations. This educational effort of the private, non-profit Kasese Wildlife Conservation Awareness Organization (KWCAO) has directly benefited and protected animals in Uganda, as well as the ecosystems in which they live. Additional funding will support KWCAO’s ability to serve many more children attending the more than 900 schools in Kasese District.
