The Mission Behind It All

About Elephant Education Initiative

Our Impact

Elephant Education Initiative provides full scholarships to Maasai youth pursuing higher education degrees in fields such as conservation, international tourism, environmental sciences, environmental law, or ranger training. Since 2019, we have awarded five full scholarships to both male and female Maasai students. As we expand to other countries, the reach of our scholarships to indigenous communities impacted by human-elephant conflict will continue to expand.
