Support Elephants

The hospital runs on donations. The rewilding programme runs on donations. Every contribution has a direct line to an elephant’s care.

—How to give

Five ways to help

Not every gift works the same way. Some fund an individual story, some fund a vehicle on the road, some fund a calf’s first months or a class of children.

Pick the one that means the most to you.

Sponsor an Elephant

Support one, help all

Upon receiving your donation, we will issue a certificate in your name with the elephant you decided to sponsor, with its name and photograph. You can also choose to sponsor an elephant for a friend or family. A beautiful gift for a birthday or for Christmas!
