My Nonprofit Reviews

There's so much I love about Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: the lifesaving and life-changing help, affection, and care they provide to wild (baby) orphans; the medical care and treatment of injured wild animals of any age; the foot, air, dog, and vehicle patrols they perform to protect Kenya's wildlife; and the outreach and education provided to the local communities to ensure the safety of Kenya's animals. I also love that the goal of each rescue is to give the babies, over many years, the tools, confidence, milk, lucerne pellets, leaves, branches, and protection to grow up and return to the wild. Those that are unable to live a wild life have a wonderful lifetime home with SWT.

It makes me happy to support SWT both as a baby elephant foster, a volunteer at the Enormous Elephant Run L.A., and a participant in the inaugural and second elephant runs in Griffith Park (L.A., CA). The staff I met through volunteering was kind, friendly, helpful, and is a wonderful representation of the caring nature of this organization.

I foster 2 elephant babies and "adopted" an orphaned elephant for my father too. I enjoy the monthly email updates on the orphans very much. I am also a frequent shopper of the SWT online store!

I have only good things to say about Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. It's an organization I whole-heartedly endorse and support.

The photos are my two fosters: Malkia (with other babies in the background) and Larro (drinking a milk bottle). The third photo is Nabulu who I adopted for my dad. It was the best gift ever! He loves her and has framed photos of her in his house.
