Description
Chipembele Wildlife Education Trust operates to teach Zambian children and local communities the value of wildlife and their environment so they may be conserved for present and future generations.
Impact
The Elephant Charge funding has enabled CWET to reach thousands of community members, including school children, with an innovative and engaging conservation education programme.
The current Education Team comprises of 4 Community Conservation Educators (CCEs), a Community Outreach Coordinator and a Conservation Education Manager. The teams work in 19 schools every 2 weeks, running 31 school Conservation Clubs and teaching 930 students every 2 weeks as well as facilitating sessions with 64 community groups a month. The Mobile Education Unit enables the Educators to engage with very remote community groups.
The EC support has enabled the expansion of the education program, with an even larger impact, particularly in very remote areas.
