From Waste to Hope.

This World Elephant Day 2026, we went beyond a cleanup. Together with 150 community elders and local leaders and more than 40 Community Health Promoters, we raised awareness about plastic pollution and its impact on people, wildlife, and Tsavo’s precious habitats.

After the training, participants joined hands-on cleanup activities, collecting plastic waste from the community and elephant habitat. But we didn’t want the plastic to end up in another dumpsite. We transported it to the Amara Education Center, where it is being repurposed into eco-bricks that will be used to build benches and create better spaces for community environmental trainings.

We also trained 10 local widows to turn discarded plastic into durable, handmade brooms—creating an opportunity for sustainable livelihoods while tackling plastic pollution.

From elephant habitat → to eco-bricks → to community spaces. From waste → to opportunity.

This is conservation with a purpose.

🚨 $1,655 RAISED FOR TSAVO! 💚🌍

We honestly don't have the words.

Just a short time ago, we launched our Tsavo Plastic Cleanup campaign, hoping that people would believe in the vision of a cleaner, safer future for one of Africa's most iconic landscapes.

Today, because of your generosity, we've raised $1,655 toward our $5,000 goal. ❤️

Not all of that appears on PayPal because one generous supporter donated by cheque, but every single gift has brought us closer to getting our team back on the ground.

This is more than money.

It's hope.

It's knowing that people from around the world care about protecting Tsavo's wildlife and keeping plastic out of one of Africa's greatest ecosystems.

But our work isn't finished.

We still need $3,345 to fund the cleanup of the next 20-kilometer stretch of the Mombasa Highway through Tsavo.

Every day we wait, more plastic is carried into the bush, pollutes rivers, and threatens elephants, lions, giraffes, and countless other animals that call Tsavo home. Over time, that plastic breaks down into harmful microplastics that remain in the environment for generations.

The good news?

Our volunteers are ready.

Our plan is ready.

Now we just need the resources to begin.

And here's the beautiful part...

The plastic we collect won't end up in another landfill. It will be transformed into eco-bricks and used to build our Community Education Center, turning pollution into a place where future generations will learn to protect the natural world.

Your support doesn't just clean up plastic.

It protects wildlife.

It creates local jobs.

It gives waste a second life.

It builds hope.

If just 77 people gave $50, we would fully fund this cleanup and return to Tsavo.

Will you be one of them?

🐘💥 BIG NEWS FOR TSAVO! 💥🐘

We are thrilled to announce the official launch of our expanded, community-led plastic cleanup initiative along the breathtaking Tsavo ecosystem!

Plastic pollution threatens our incredible wildlife, clogs vital waterways, and impacts the community we all share. But we aren’t just standing by—we are taking action, and we’re doing it together.

With this new phase, we are:
1. Empowering Local Communities: Putting the tools and resources directly into the hands of community leaders.
2. Protecting Vital Wildlife Habitats: Clearing out plastic waste to ensure a safer, cleaner environment for Tsavo’s iconic wildlife.
3. Creating Sustainable Change: Scaling our efforts to make a long-lasting, measurable impact on the ecosystem.

This is more than just a cleanup—it’s a movement to protect one of the most vital ecosystems on the planet. And we need YOUR help to spread the word!

Let’s keep Tsavo wild, clean, and thriving! 💚🐾

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."

Help us reach the finish line. Donate here: [https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=D3ABTEZ34Y7E4]

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
