The school lunch program, which supports 8 schools, 7 in Sagalla and 1 in Jipe, continues to be highly beneficial, with overwhelmingly positive feedback from the students, school heads, board of management teams, local administrators and the wider community.

Conservation education continues to introduce innovative activities, from tree planting, waste management and a partnership with the Wildlife Clubs of Kenya, which is providing additional resources and networking opportunities to partner schools.

Field trips for students to national parks and other conservation areas are also offering students broader exposure to wildlife conservation and inspiring the next generation of wildlife champions and ambassadors for the natural world.
