During your stay on this volunteer project, you will contribute to our important work in community development. Plus, experience the best of our amazing lion conservation project that focuses on a unique approach to the ongoing protection of highly threatened African lions.

The primary reasons for the decline in lion populations are habitat loss and prey-base depletion that creates a conflict with people, resulting in the killing of lions in response to predation on livestock. Therefore, we take a responsible development approach to conservation by working closely with communities. We bring awareness to the importance of wildlife and create motivation for human and lion co-existence.

Officially opened in December 2012, our ALERT Education Centre is the first educational facility of its kind in Zimbabwe, catering to local school children in and around Gweru city. The Education Centre offers free lessons in conservation education that are not available anywhere else in the current education system and are provided for children in Grades 6 and 7 (11-12 years old).
