We’ve just wrapped up our work in Mtito Andei, and one thing is clear — change is possible when people come together.

In just a few days, over 500kgs of plastic waste were collected.

Not burned.
Not left behind.
But gathered with purpose by community members, children, and partners who showed up and took action.

That waste is now being transformed into eco bricks at our center.

And from those eco bricks, we’ve built our first bench.

It may look simple, but it represents something deeper.

A child who no longer has to sit on dust while eating.
A cleaner, safer space in a school or community.
A small but meaningful shift in everyday life.

This is more than a clean-up.

It’s a move from waste to purpose, from pollution to dignity — and it’s already taking shape.

This is just the beginning. We aim to replicate these benches across schools and communities, creating spaces that are cleaner, safer, and built with intention.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

Together, we are building something that lasts.

WE ARE 50% THERE! 11 Days to World Environment Day!

Every day, plastic waste along the Kanga SGR Station–Mtito Andei highway corridor blows straight into Tsavo National Park, endangering our wildlife. On June 5th, Amara Conservation Center is taking action!

The Mission: Mobilizing 200 local students and 300 community members to clear the highway stretch from Kanga to Mtito Andei town. We are transforming every single bottle collected into eco-bricks to build permanent community training benches at our center!

Budget Update: We have raised $1,300 so far! Every cent is locked in for critical frontline safety: heavy-duty gloves, high-vis reflector vests, transport trucks, and bulk drinking water.

⚠️ The Challenge: We face a $1,550 deficit. Because volunteer safety is non-negotiable, we’ve had to temporarily cut out volunteer snacks and pause buying construction materials (cement/tools) to actually build the benches.

Next Steps: Our team will soon hit the road to meet the DCC in Kambu, the KWS Warden (to secure extra lorry transport), and local school principals to finalize fieldwork logistics.

We are doing the heavy lifting on the ground, but we need your help to cross the financial finish line. Just $1,550 stands between us and a clean safari gateway!

500 Heroes. One Mission. End Plastic Waste.

Every day, thousands travel along Mombasa Road. But beyond the highway lies a growing crisis—plastic bottles clogging drainage systems, polluting rivers, and damaging our environment.

This World Environment Day, we are taking action.

On June 5th, Amara Conservation Center will mobilize:
✅ 300 community members
✅ 200 students
✅ A full cleanup mission along Mombasa Road

But we are going beyond cleanup.

The collected plastic waste will be transformed into eco-bricks and used to build permanent training benches for the community—turning pollution into something useful and lasting.

🎯 Our goal: Raise $2,850 by June 5th to support:
• Safety gear for volunteers
• Transport and logistics
• Eco-brick construction
• Water and meals for the cleanup teams

Every bottle removed becomes part of a better future.

Our Amara Showcase Center is standing! Built from recycled bottles, this is where "what if" becomes "how to." This center will be a living classroom where Tsavo farmers see beehive fences and chilli barriers in action—proving that they don't have to lose everything to an elephant raid.

The Work: Right now, we are hitting solid stone to reach the water table. This borehole is the heartbeat of the showcase, feeding the nursery and the future of this community.

The Goal: We’ve raised $600, but we need $2,900 to finish. This covers the beehive installation, the solar training cinema, and the water pump.

As James, our site worker and a local farmer, says: "We are no longer victims of the wild. We are getting our power back."

There is a specific sound currently echoing across the site of our new center: steel hitting dry earth.

If you follow us on social media or check the link below, you’ll see the videos of what "hard work" looks like in Tsavo. You’ll see men working tirelessly under a relentless sun, digging deeper, foot by foot, through layers of rock. They aren't just digging a hole; they are reaching for the lifeblood of this entire project.

The borehole is almost there. But as the team works to reach the water table, we are working to reach our final financial goal. Donate Here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=D3ABTEZ34Y7E4 fans

Sweet as honey! 🍯 Beekeeping in the heart of the Taita Taveta landscape isn't just about delicious honey; it's a sweet way to conserve our environment too!

In collaboration with Save the Elephants Catch us on Radio Tumaini 92.9 FM Voi tomorrow, March 19th, 2026, where we'll spill the bees on how these tiny pollinators are making a big impact.

Don't miss it, tune in!

Our vision is the Community Wildlife Coexistence & Alternative Livelihood Demonstration Center — a place where local communities can learn practical solutions to the challenges of living alongside wildlife.

Here, farmers will learn wildlife-friendly farming, grow drought-resistant crops, and plant chilli and lemongrass barriers that help keep elephants away from farms. Youth and community groups will learn beekeeping, turning honey production into income while also helping deter elephants.

We are also tackling plastic pollution by transforming waste into eco-bricks, building walls, benches, and community structures using recycled plastic bottles.

The center will also host a solar-powered conservation cinema, demonstration farms, agroforestry plots, and even a composting toilet that converts waste into manure for tree regeneration.
This will be a living classroom where conservation, innovation, and community resilience come together.

Because protecting wildlife around Tsavo National Park starts with empowering the communities who live beside it.
The future of conservation is coexistence.
