Empowering PeopleProtecting WildlifeConserving Land

Who We AreEmpowers Africa is a U.S. public charity under IRC Section 501(c)(3) that supports programs in the areas of human empowerment, wildlife protection and land conservation in Sub-Saharan Africa. We support programs that empower communities by improving access to educa-tion, healthcare and business opportunities. We also support programs that protect wildlife and land conservation because we believe protect-ing Africa’s natural wealth is critical to the empowerment of the sur-rounding communities.

Projects are selected only if they are community-led, measurable and sustainable.

The poaching crisis facing Africa is at a critical point, whereby elephants, rhinos and other species may become extinct in the near future. Each year, precious wildlife becomes endangered or extinct for their horns, tusks, skin or bones.

It is imperative for us to continue to partner with organizations that fero-ciously combat this crisis.

Blood LionsTM

Lifting the lid off an unspeakable practice

Empowers Africa supports Wildlands Conservation Trust in aid of the Blood Lions campaign to help regulate the captive lion industry and enable wild lion conserva-tion in South Africa.

Wildands Conservation Trust is one of South Africa’s leading environ-mental non-profit organizations. Through strategic partnerships with communities and the South African Government, Wildlands is helping South Africa strengthen its natural ecosystems, educating local com-munities and improving livelihoods in the process.

Most recently, Wildlands co-produced the groundbreaking documen-tary Blood LionsTM, which exposes South Africa’s captive lion breeding and canned lion hunting industries. Wildlands’ participation in the Blood Lions campaign is aimed at combating the captive lion industry and promoting the conservation of wild lions in South Africa. The doc-umentary sheds light on the lies that veil the industry, such as captive lion breeding farms misleading tourists into believing the lion cubs are orphans, when in fact they are being bred to fall victim to a canned lion hunt. The revenues are enormous; the price of a lion hunt can exceed $50,000, while lion bones sell for astronomical prices on the Asian black market for traditional medicine.

Empowers Africa made a grant to Wildlands to fund the employment of an additional NSPCA Wildlife Unit Inspector. The inspectors work to regulate the industry by monitoring facilities across South Africa and implement action when laws against lions and wildlife are broken.

1,094 lion carcasses were exported from South Africa in 2013. This is up from 287 carcasses in 2010 and a mere 60 individual bones exported in 2008 - Department of Environmental Affairs and CITES PC: Pippa Hankinson

Big Life FoundationEmpowers Africa supports successful anti-poach-ing efforts in Kenya and Tanzania

As the African Elephant population continues to dwindle in various areas around the continent, there is one place where the population is finding a safe haven: the Amboseli-Tsavo-Kili-manjaro Ecosystem that is protected by Big Life Foundation. Empowers Africa has partnered with Big Life Foundation to fund the sal-aries of rangers who make up special forces protecting wildlife in Big Life’s territory in Kenya and Tanzania. Their monumental work in protecting precious wildlife has resulted in 1,800 arrests since 2011 and has dramati-cally reduced poaching rates. In the last four years, Africa has lost over 100,000 Elephants to poachers and human wildlife conflict, however we are happy to report that in the vast 2 million acre ecosystem that Big Life protects, only 4 elephants have been lost due to poaching and another 7 to human conflict. Out of the 11 ele-phants Big Life has seen

die in 2014, all of the tusks have been recovered, keeping Big Life out of the Ivory Chain.

In addition, their comprehensive ranger training program employs local rural community members making the Foundation the largest single employ-er of Maasai in the area. Protecting Wildlife and creating employment are core values for Empowers Africa, and we are honored to be in partnership with Big Life Foundation and witness the impact they are making in Africa.

Wilderness Wildlife TrustEmpowers Africa’s partnership with WWT supports the largest ever cross-border translocation of criti-cally-endangered black rhino to Botswana

In July 2015, in partnership with Empowers Africa, the governments of Botswa-na, South Africa and Zimbabwe, and several other NGOs, Wilderness Wildlife Trust successfully completed the largest ever cross-border translocation of Crit-ically-Endangered black rhino. The translocation is the latest phase in a collaborative project that spans over 15 years and has grown to become one of the most important rhino translocations ever undertaken in the history of conservation. In the past both black and white rhinos could be found in Botswana by the thousands, however, in the 1980s, black rhino were declared locally extinct.

This collaborative partnership has managed to move no less than 1% of the total global population of this highly threatened species into a safe haven in Botswana’s Okavango Delta. The rhino will be protected by a very competent team, including, Wilderness Safaris’ Rhino Monitoring Officers, the Botswana Defence Force and the Department of Wildlife and National Parks’ specialized Anti-Poaching Unit. Earlier this year, the Minister of En-vironment, Wildlife and Tourism for Botswana secured a budget from Par-liament for the recruiting, equipping and training of a new 50-man specialist “rhino squad” – the sole mission of this team is to patrol and protect Botswana rhino, indicating the incredible com-mitment from the political leadership in Botswana. The Wilderness Wildlife Trust, an in-dependent non-profit entity associated with the Wilderness Safaris group, sup-ports a wide variety of projects across Africa. The foundation’s work address the needs of existing wildlife popula-tions, seeks solutions to save endan-gered species and provides education and training for local people and their communities. Their three focus areas are research and conservation, com-munity empowerment and education, anti-poaching and management. Pro-tecting endangered species is critical to Empowers Africa’s mission and we are extremely proud of our partnership with Wilderness Wildlife Trust.

Virunga National ParkSupporting Widows of Fallen Rangers

Tragically, over the last decade, Virunga National Park has lost approxi-mately 140 rangers in the line of duty while protecting Africa’s oldest and most biologically diverse national park. Beyond loosing his life in the line of duty, a ranger’s greatest fear is the effect his death will have on his family. Until the creation of Virunga National Park’s Fallen Rangers Fund, widows received little or no financial support. More than a few succumbed to severe poverty as a result. Empowers Africa is extremely proud of its support to the Fallen Rangers Fund - a fund launched by the park to provide a long-term financial safety net for widows and children of Virunga rangers killed protecting this UNESCO World Heritage Site. ABOUT THE PARK Virunga National Park in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo is Africa’s oldest and most biologically diverse protected area. About four million people live within a day’s walk of the park’s borders. A UNESCO World Heritage site, Virunga is home to about a quarter of the world’s 830 critically endangered mountain gorillas. The park fea-tures an incredible diversity of landscapes that include jungles, savannas, lava plains, two of the world’s most active volcanoes, the glaciated peaks of the little explored Rwenzori “Mountains of the Moon,” and Lake Edward – one of Africa’s Great Lakes. Ever since the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, the region has been plagued with civil war. Blessed by boundless natural resources, minerals, and fossil fuel deposits, the area around Virunga has long been the target of organized and informal extractive interests. The numerous armed groups operating in and around Virunga play an important role in providing protection for the private companies and individuals trying to exploit the park’s riches. Against the backdrop of war – and despite the death of more than 140 of their com-rades over the past decade – Virunga’s 500 rangers continue to protect the mountain gorillas and other wildlife in the park.

ABOUT THE FALLEN RANGERS FUND Emmanuel de Merode, Director of Virunga National Park, initiated the work of identifying all the widows of fallen rangers in 2007. Since that time, he and others on the Virunga team have managed to compile the identities of almost all the ranger widows dating back to 1991, when regional hostilities began. The process will continue until all are identified and screened for eligibility. The Fallen Rangers Fund’s first goal is to provide financial support – getting monthly pensions to qualifying families as soon as possible. When living in extreme poverty, every passing day deepens a family’s exposure to malnutrition, disease, and premature death. The second goal is to grow a permanent endowment for families of fallen rangers and to develop income generating activities for the widows, such as gardening, animal husbandry, handicraft manufacturing, and a sewing project. The fund will then be able to cover the base subsistence cost of a family, as well as provide comprehensive family medical coverage. The fund exists outside the Demo-cratic Republic of Congo and is managed by Virunga Fund in the U.S.A. This ensures that political turmoil and conflict will not endanger its ongoing viability. Empowers Africa is extremely proud to be able to offer these rangers and their families some security for risking their lives in the line of duty to protect Virunga Na-tional Park.

Empowers Africa helps open a training center in Ethiopia for obstetric fistula survivors and provides micro-loans to 80 women

Healing Hands Of Joy

Healing Hands of Joy (HHOJ), a nonprofit work-ing to end obstetrics fistula and make motherhood safer in Ethiopia, opened its second rehabilitation center in Bahir. Bahir Dar is the capital of the Am-hara region, which has high rates of child marriage that contribute to the prevalence of obstetric fistu-la. Empowers Africa, along with the Quasha fami-ly, helped fund the opening of this center. Leaders from the Regional Health Bureau, the Amhara Women’s Association, Gondar International Fistu-la Training Institute, the Amhara Development As-sociation and Hamlin Fistula (Bahir Dar) attended the launch event and enthusiastically welcomed HHOJ’s work to fill an unmet need in the region. The Quasha and Empowers Africa Bahir Dar Training Center hosts residential training and counseling programs for survivors of obstetric fistula. Graduates of the program then become Safe Motherhood Ambassadors and return to their communities armed with skills to encourage good maternal health. Nearly half of the fistula survi-vors that HHOJ has trained are divorced and often have no financial support. As such, the Foundation also offers micro-lending and on-going training to provide economic empowerment so these women can become financially independent. Empowers Africa funded micro-loans to 80 women at HHOJ’s Yirgalem Center which were accompanied by continuing education, ongoing training, and infield follow up to moniter the loans/business. Healing Hands of Joy is a non-profit organization that exists to bring hope, happiness and a second chance to women affected by obstetric fistula in rural communities of Ethiopia. The Foundation works in conjunction with the Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital at its regional center to train survivors as Safe Motherhood Ambassadors, empowering these women to bring knowledge back to their communi-ties regarding this preventable and curable medical condition. The Addis Ababa hospital was formed in 1974 and has since treated more than 43,000 women in fistula obstetrics. The have 5 regional centers that treat more than 3,000 cases per year. Providing access to healthcare and small busi-ness development is critical to Empowers Africa’s mission and we are very proud to be a supporter of HHOJ and their work to end obstetrics fistula in Ethiopia.

African Parks FoundationGroundbreaking Translocation of Lions

African Parks Foundation has taken on the responsibility for the rehabilitation, development, and management of over 5.9 million hectares of national parks in 7 different countries in Africa. One of the parks is Akagera National Park in Rwanda where until recently lions had been locally extinct for the last 15 years. Lions became extinct in Akag-era as Rwanda experienced a period of political instability following the 1994 genocide. This resulted in lack of man-agement of its national parks and the subsequent poisoning of lions by cattle herders. African Parks recently con-ducted a groundbreaking conservation effort with the reintroduction of lion back into this incredible park, revers-ing the local extinction of this species.

Seven lions were carefully selected to ensure they were disease-free, genet-ically diverse and habituated to vehi-cles. Five lionesses were donated by &Beyond and two males were donated by Ezemvelo KZN Wildlife to form a suitable founder population for Akag-era National Park. Studies have shown that Phinda’s lions are the second most genetically diverse population in South Africa. The lions were tranquilized, placed onto individual transport crates, carefully loaded onto trucks and driv-en to Johannesburg where they were immediately loaded onto a charter flight and flown to Kigali. They were then transported by road to their new home at Akagera National Park with an experienced veterinary team moni-toring the lions throughout their jour-ney. Upon arrival in Akagera, the lions were placed in a quarantine boma to be closely monitored before their eventu-al release back into the wild. The lions settled into this temporary home and were observed feeding and interacting. All seven lions have been fitted with satellite collars, which will allow their movements to be tracked and their be-havior monitored. Thanks to African Parks, visitors now have the chance to witness lions roam-ing free in the wild while visiting Akagera National Park. Empowers Africa is proud to have been part of this historic translocation, which involved private donors, non-governmental or-ganizations and the government of Rwanda all working together for the good of wildlife protection and conser-vation.

LEWA Wildlife ConservancyProviding medical care to remote communities

The 61,000-acre UNESCO World Heritage site is a refuge for rhino and elephant in Northern Kenya and is one of the largest conservancies in all of Africa. LEWA employs more than 300 employees in Kenya and manages programs in the following areas: healthcare, education, sustainable agriculture, grazing and forestry initiatives, women’s micro-credit programs and sustainable water usage initiatives. Over 60,000 people in LEWA’s neighboring areas are positively affected by the organization’s work.

One successful program that LEWA runs is a mobile clinic providing healthcare to people living in ex-tremely remote areas far away from traditional medical facilities. The LEWA mobile health clinic works in conjunction with its four medical clinics in various rural communities. It provides medical assistance to more than 2,000 people living in remote and inacces-sible areas around LEWA. The four medical clinics served ap-proximately 30,000 people in 2014 alone, and shoulder 90 percent of the healthcare and medical needs in the area. Services offered by the mobile clinic include health education, family planning, and treatment of ailments, immunization and nutrition checks. Empowers Africa is extremely proud to be a supporter of LEWA’s mobile clinic to provide healthcare to people living in remote areas.

Nutritional FeedingPrograms Feeding Children and Nurturing Minds

There is no question that malnutrition directly impacts a child’s ability to learn. Empowers Africa’s support of these two feeding programs provides a nutritious meal to over 1,000 children on a daily basis. The aim of these two programs is to improve the physical and mental development of the children and also to encourage their attendance at school. Nkomo Primary School Nkomo Primary School is situated in the rural community of Mduku on the North Coast of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Empowers Africa is the primary funder of the feeding program at the school’s Orphans and Vulnerable Chil-dren’s Center (“OVC”) that feeds more than 456 children a nutritious meal each day. The Center serves orphaned and vulnerable children by providing them with daily meals, counseling, assistence with government paperwork and home-work. The Nkomo Primary School started in 1998 with 60 children and one teacher, Mrs. Themba Zikhali. At that time, there were no classrooms, so teaching and learning took place under the trees. The school currently educates more than 900 children, has 24 teachers, 8 support staff, 17 classrooms and the OVC. Through the generous support of its partners, is has been able to add many other facilities serving the needs of the children. Nkomo Primary has been recognized as a role model in its region and was upgraded to a Full Service School in order to accommodate disabled children from the communities. Empowers Africa is delighted to be partnering with this remarkable school and its mission to care for Orphans and Vulnerable Children.

Singita Community Development Trust & The Malilangwe Trust The Singita Community Development Trust began its Child Supplementary Feeding Program in Zimbabwe in response to the 2002 drought that resulted in rampant malnutrition and illness among children. Singita has partnered with the Malilangwe Trust, a nonprofit conducting philanthropic outreach in the communities surrounding the Malilangwe Wildlife Reserve in Zimbabwe. Each morning, 19,000 children ages 6 months to 12 years receive a nutritious meal prepared by volunteer mothers. The food is distributed at 436 feeding points on the outskirts of the reserve. The aim of the program is to facilitate the physical and mental development of these children and also to encourage their attendance at school. It costs USD 20 per year to feed one child a daily meal in this program. Empowers Africa is proud to provide annual support to the Child Supplementa-ry Feeding Program resulting in the daily feeding of over 500 children.

David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Orphan Elephant Rescue and Rehabilitation

The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (DSWT) is the most successful or-phan elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world and one of the pio-neering conservation organizations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa. DSWT’s orphan res-cue involves rapid response to remote areas of Kenya. A rescue team is flown in by charter flight and the elephants are then transported by ground back to the Nairobi Nurs-ery. Through 2014 DSWT continued to give orphaned baby elephants a second chance at life by res-cuing 34 baby elephants from across Kenya. As of 2015, DSWT has rescued 190 orphaned elephants since the inception of its Orphans’ Project and has accomplished its long-term con-servation priority by effectively reinte-grating orphans back into the wild herds of Tsavo, claiming many healthy wild-born calves from former-orphaned elephants raised in their care.

The foundation em-braces all measures that compliment the conservation, preserva-tion and protection of wildlife. These include anti-poaching, safe-guarding the natural environment, enhancing community awareness, addressing animal wel-fare issues, providing veterinary assistance to animals in need, rescu-ing and hand rearing elephant and rhino orphans, along with other species that can ultimately enjoy a qual-ity life in the wild once grown. Wildlife protection is a core part of Empowers Africa’s mission and we will continue to sup-port this remarkable foundation in its efforts to protect the African elephant.

Cheetah Conservation Fund

Protecting Cheetahs through The Livestock Guarding Program

The Cheetah Conservation Fund was founded in 1990 and is a global leader in research and the conservation of cheetahs. Their mission is to be the internationally rec-ognized center of excellence in the conservation of chee-tahs and their ecosystems.

The cheetah is currently on the Red List as a vulnerable species on the Union of Conservation of Nature’s list. Since the 1990’s the dwindling number of cheetahs has been revitalized through the Cheetah Conservation Fund from less than 3,000 to over 3,500 today. One of CCF’s programs is the Livestock Guarding Dog Program. The program is highly effective at reducing predation rates of live-stock and thereby decreasing the incidence of the shooting and trapping of cheetahs.

PC: Jenna Brager

Approximately 25% to 40% of Namibians depend on sub-sistence agriculture, livestock ranching and herding, Approx-imately 90% of all cheetahs live outside of protected areas and therefore in close contact with human populations. The loss of livestock can be a devastating financial blow to a farmer. The program’s goal is to reduce the incidence of human-wildlife con-flict on the farms of Namibia. CCF has placed over 500 live-stock guard dogs since 1994. Re-search shows this program has reduced the death of livestock from all predators by more than 80% and sometime by 100%. Farmers adopt a trained dog from CCF and the foundation provides routine follow up to en-sure the dogs have proper on-go-ing training, medical care and are settling into their guardian role. Farmers have enthusiastically embraced the program. Wildlife protection is a central part of Empowers Africa’s mis-sion and we are extremely proud to be supporting CCF in its ef-forts to protect the cheetah, the world’s fastest land mammal.

Utah Garden/Inzalo Community Project Inzalo Community Project is a South African nonprofit that runs community development projects in the communities outside of both the Thornybush and Sabi Sands Reserves in South Africa. The foundation, along with The Thorny-bush Collection, has championed two amazing women’s cooperative gardens. Empowers Africa is delighted to be a partner in these productive garden proj-ects that provide income to women and nourish over 850 school children. The Utah Community Project is a community garden run by a group of 9 volun-teer mothers who sell produce to 10 neighboring eco-tourism lodges in the Sabi Sands and Thornybush Reserves. The garden also supplies food to approxi-mately 700 students who attend the adjacent local school high school (Manyan-gana High School). The 9 women who run the garden are given the weekly proceeds from sales of produce providing important financial support for these ladies and their families. In addition, each volunteer mother receives a weekly produce package for her family.

The second garden project is locat-ed at the Hananani Primary School. This garden supplies daily produce for the approximatly 150 students at the school.

Empowers Africa has supported several different projects at these gardens, including, providing wa-ter tanks and stands for irrigation and funding a post-harvest building to wash, clean, dry pack and refrig-erate vegetables and herbs prior to delivery. Empowers Africa’s mission includes the funding of small busi-ness development. We are extremely proud to be part of these projects that not only provide income to women but also provide nourishment to over 850 school children.

We are committed to having 100% of every donation go to the pro-grams we support in Africa. We are able to offer this to donors be-cause our administrative costs are entirely funded by our board of trustees. Empowers Africa is a U.S. public charity, contributions to which are tax-deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 501(c)(3) [EIN: 32-0403737] of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
