Creating

meaningful change

Every day we work, live in, and experience the beauty of Africa. It’s only right that we help enhance and uplift the communities, people and wildlife around us. The Shearwater Fund – a not-for-profit fund where we donate a percentage of our turnover.

We work closely with the local communities to engage them in our projects and include them as key stakeholders.

Clean Water: by sinking boreholes in rural areas, communities gain access to fresh, clean water close to their homes.
Sanitation and Safety: building modern latrines in local villages improves sanitation and offers residents a safe alternative to open defecation.
Human Elephant Conflict reduction: As the human population grows, human elephant conflict grows too. By helping villagers find ways to live harmoniously alongside elephants it reduces the incidences of attacks on elephants. By planting chilli plants along their borders and using beehive corridors they not only generate an income from a cash crop and honey, they deter elephants from entering their land.

GIVING BACK TO THE WORLD

that gives so much to us

EDUCATION

Education is key to upliftment and progress, but for some, it’s not an option due to financial constraints. That’s why we provide bursaries for nearly 90 at risk and orphaned children in communities around us. We also work with local schools to upgrade their playgrounds and sports facilities. Our goal is to improve as many lives as we can and education is key.

CONSERVATION

Victoria Falls is at the centre of cruicial animal corridors for many endangered animals. We support the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust (VFWT) who, along with other conservation projects, ensure that these corridors remain safe for the migration of wildlife for feeding. Some other conservation projects they work on include ensuring a varied gene pool for mating, rehabilitating injured animals and tracking endangered animals.
