Children in Bwindi and Mgahinga face:
Long walking distances to school, lack of school fees, uniforms, books, and lunch, high dropout rates, especially among girls, Poverty that forces children into labor rather than school.

Local communities are the heartbeat of conservation and development efforts. They live closest to the land, forests, and wildlife — and their daily choices directly shape the future of these ecosystems.

Mountain gorillas live in a fragile balance: healthy forests, guarded by people who depend on them. When we invest in education, sustainable agriculture, and tourism skills for local families, we buy long-term protection for gorillas.

When people thrive, gorillas survive.
We bridge the gap between humans and wildlife through education, eco-tourism, and sustainable projects.

Only about 1,000 mountain gorillas remain on Earth.
Every forest protected, every tree planted, every family supported — brings us one step closer to their survival. 🌿🦍
