With the majority of Kenya’s very spectacular wildlife living outside National Parks on private and community land, a strong connection between local communities and their surrounding environment is paramount to the future of wildlife conservation and habitat protection.
Building on this principle, the Land & Life Foundation is committed to ensuring that local communities receive revenue and tangible benefits from tourism. Over the years since its inception in 2011 (initially as the C&P Community Trust), the Land & Life Foundation has achieved a great deal in ensuring that communities living in the vicinity of wildlife areas genuinely benefit from tourism.

The Land & Life Foundation is supported by the Elewana Collection and Cheli & Peacock Safaris, as well as our sister conservation organisation in Thailand, the Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation, and Minor International.
As all our operational costs are covered, 100% of every donation received goes directly to our supported schools and communities.
No administration fees – no valuable donations spent on office costs. Every penny goes straight to the ground, where it is needed most.
