Children in the Wilderness
Children in the Wilderness is an environmental and life skills educational programme that focuses on the next generation of rural decision-makers, developing environmental leaders who are inspired to care for their natural heritage so that they become the custodians of these areas in the future. By exposing the children to their wildlife heritage, Children in the Wilderness aims to create a network of learning sanctuaries that uplifts, conserves and cares for our children and our planet.

Empowers Africa
Empowers Africa is a U.S. public charity under IRC Section 501(c)(3) that facilitates tax-deductible donations for U.S. donors on behalf of Wilderness Wildlife Trust and Children in the Wilderness. Empowers Africa deducts a 5% administration fee from all donations that it receives on behalf of Wilderness Wildlife Trust and Children in the Wilderness (this fee is covered by Wilderness Safaris Sustainability Fund so that effectively 100% of each donor’s support gets to the respective Trusts).
Empowers Africa’s mission is to support programmes in the areas of wildlife protection, human empowerment and land conservation in sub-Saharan Africa. Empowers Africa’s focus is on funding programmes that support the protection of wildlife and land conservation; programmes in communities that surround protected conservation and wildlife areas or World Heritage Sites; and programmes in urban communities where tourism is a strong source of development.

Nissan South Africa
For the last 40 years, Nissan South Africa has supplied quality vehicles to South African customers – vehicles which have met the specific needs of the South African market. In 2013, Nissan South Africa donated four Nissan Hard body double-cab 4x4s – three of which went to research units and one that went to Children in the Wilderness and its attendant community outreach programmes. Nissan vehicles are thus being used in Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe and Zambia.
