Our Impact – Provide

New School Build

How Much: £42,000

Where: South Africa

Thanks to a generous donation from Mr Ron Small and the Save a Child Foundation, Helping Rhinos was able to build a new pre-school facility, the Speakman Pre-School, on the borders of the Zululand Rhino Stronghold.

The pre-school will provide early year’s education to children aged between 2 and 6 years. Without this facility the children of this community would not receive an early education at all as the closest facility is too far away.

The school was built by members of the local community, giving employment at a time of rising unemployment due to the impact of COVID on eco-tourism. The opening ceremony was attended by the local King, Nkosi Zuma and local Ndunas (Chiefs),who all gave speeches to mark the opening of the Speakman School.

Education in Vietnam

How Much: £3,500

Where: Vietnam

Helping Rhinos was proud to sponsor four students on the inaugural Combating the Illegal Wildlife Trade course in Vietnam. The course has been put together by our Vietnam based partner WildAct, working alongside Vinh University.

As one of the largest destination markets for illegally trafficked rhino horn, Vietnam is a key country for education programmes, and we are very proud that one of the students funded by this Helping Rhinos grant has already secured a full time job in conservation.
