With your support, Imvelo can continue to:

Support the Community Rhino Conservation Initiative and the Cobras Community Wildlife Protection Unit. This innovative project is bringing back rhinos to the Hwange ecosystem, alleviates human-wildlife conflicts, provides employments to community members and generates direct revenue for  local community development.

Maintain 25 wildlife pumps in and around Hwange. These units pump million liters of water to the surface throughout the year for thousands of elephants and a number of other animals.

Maintain over 90 community water wells and continue to solarize as many of these as possible. These water points provide clean water to thousands of people in our frontline communities south of Hwange.

Support the education of over 3,000 children. This includes providing school lunches, bursary opportunities, improved infrastructure, energy and water security, teaching assistant salaries, supplies and textbooks.

Deliver food aid to isolated and drought-stricken villages until productive harvests re-establish food security. Over the last three years, we managed to deliver 130 tons of maize meal to our frontline communities prior to the rains.

Improve access to healthcare by building infrastructure and by operating the annual Smile and See Safari. Over the course of the past 13 years, volunteer dentists and optometrists from Spain and Italy have treated over 42,000 rural Zimbabwean patients with free dental and eye care. A community health clinic has been built and equipped in Ngamo village and is kept operational thanks to the Community Rhino Conservation Initiative. This serves around 3,000 people in the area.
