My Nonprofit Reviews

My first visit to this amazing orphanage was in 1994. I saw firsthand the love, care, and kindness showered upon these precious animals. I have visited several times since. It’s important to me that a goal of the orphanage is to gradually re-wild the elephants. It is a cause for celebration when a orphan that has re-integrated to the wild returns to show off her newborn calf!! DSWT truly gives these orphans a second chance — to make lifelong friendships, to be part of a family, to have a baby, and to live in the wild. The orphanage does SO MUCH MORE than heal these precious creatures from the emotional and physical trauma they experienced. DSWT also has a veterinary service - that aids other species of injured animals in addition to elephants — and an anti-poaching team. It is also important to me that DSWT uses donations for the elephants and not for administrative costs. The world is definitely a better place because of DSWT!!
