Real impact isn't built in a quarter. It's built through partnerships that grow stronger over time.

We're pleased to share the Platcorp Foundation Q2 2026 Impact Report, showcasing the progress we've made over the past three months as we continue to invest in people, communities and the environment across Africa.

This quarter, we:
🌿 Recruited and trained 50 Community Conservation Champions to strengthen community-led conservation across the South West Mau and Kakamega landscapes.
🌊 Supported marine conservation by licensing 206 fishers and boat owners, alongside expanding community surveillance and multi-agency patrols to protect Lamu's marine ecosystems.
🌱 Launched a new partnership with Reforest Africa, supporting regenerative farming and village savings groups in Tanzania's Kilombero Landscape.
🏫 Completed a new three-classroom block for 460 pupils in Uganda, while also supporting solar-powered learning and education initiatives across Kenya.
🩺 Improved access to healthcare through new medical infrastructure, clean water initiatives and children's health programmes.
🤝 Continued empowering communities by supporting vulnerable families, correctional facilities, young people, women and local institutions across East Africa.

Every partnership, every project and every community brings us one step closer to creating lasting, scalable solutions for Africa's environmental and social challenges.

Mangroves protect more than just coastlines. They protect our future. 🌳🌊🛡️

This , we are taking you deep into the roots of the Lamu Archipelago. Mangroves are the ultimate guardians of our planet, acting as a natural shield against rising tides and harsh storms, while storing up to ten times more carbon than terrestrial forests. 🌍✨

But for the communities in Lamu, they are even more than a climate shield. They are nurseries for fish, directly sustaining local fisheries and feeding families. 🐟💼

Through our partnership with Lamu Marine Conservation Trust, our patrols monitor and protect these critical habitats from illegal logging, ensuring that this vital connection between people and planet remains unbroken. Protecting mangroves means protecting livelihoods, climate resilience, and future generations.

🎥 Watch the snippet from LaMCoT's mangrove film to see why these forests are worth fighting for.

This , we’re taking you aboard our latest patrol across the Lamu Bay JCMA! 🌊

From the dense mangrove forests to the vibrant coral reefs of the Lamu Archipelago, our marine ecosystems are entirely interconnected. 🪸

Our partner Lamu Marine Conservation Trust team is on the front lines, tackling real-time challenges - from ensuring compliance with fisheries regulations to checking fishing gear and licenses. But enforcement is only one piece of the puzzle. The very fishers we encounter on these patrols are those who depend on, and benefit from, the thriving Kinyika Rock ecosystem. 🛡️

Through the Kinyika Seasonal Closure, local communities are taking the lead in a nature-based solution. By strengthening governance and protecting these critical spawning grounds, we aren’t just conserving biodiversity: we are driving fisheries recovery and securing sustainable livelihoods for generations to come.

True resilience happens when nature-based solutions are backed by strong local institutions and coordinated enforcement. Together, we are making waves for ocean protection! 🌊💙

🌿 Conservation Beyond Boundaries

While the Platcorp Foundation, in collaboration with Rhino Ark Kenya Charitable Trust, continues its conservation work in the South Western Mau and Kakamega Forest, we're equally proud to support Kenya's wider conservation efforts through the legendary Rhino Charge. 🦏

Held in the spectacular landscapes of Ngilai Community Conservancy in Samburu County, this year's event raised an incredible KES 365.4 million to help protect Kenya's forests, water towers, and wildlife. 💚

We were honoured to sponsor Car 12, which has proudly participated in the Rhino Charge for the past 18 years, contributing to an event that demonstrates the power of collective action in conservation. 👏

Every contribution helps protect more than 570,000 hectares of Kenya's forests through habitat restoration, electric fencing to reduce human-wildlife conflict, and community conservation initiatives.

Together, we're investing in a future where communities, wildlife, and natural ecosystems thrive.🌍

Strengthening community conservation through technology 🌍💚

Together with Ramani Geosystems, teams from Mbokishi Conservation Area and Enonkishu Conservancy recently took part in training on the Ramani Land Information Management System (R-LIMS) in the Maasai Mara.

The training equipped conservancy staff with the skills to manage land leases, access vital land information, and maintain accurate digital records through a centralised platform.

Strong conservation starts with strong systems. By investing in technology and local capacity, we're helping build more efficient, transparent and sustainable land management that supports both communities and wildlife.

🌿Conservation starts with communities🌿

Community Conservation Champions are local volunteers who help protect forests, raise environmental awareness, support restoration efforts, and inspire positive change in their communities.
