My Nonprofit Reviews

I have followed Sheldrick Wildlife Trust for years, both under Dame Daphne’s leadership and more recently under the leadership of Angela Sheldrick. While David and Daphne had the original vision and made The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust a reality, Angela grew up with that vision and has leveraged her lifelong experience with technology and partnerships to expand what David and Daphne started, successfully bringing it into a more modern business venture.

I've adopted several orphans over the years and read all the books published about SWT. SWT is an impressive organization, by any measure. Their endurance as an entity through times of economic and national strife over the past 50 years is amazing and inspirational. The fact that their mission involves the care of orphaned elephants (a 10-year venture for each orphan), as well as protection of their habitat, makes their story especially compelling.

This is a family legacy that has literally changed a nation and saved a species in Kenya! Over time, their missions have expanded and their experience places them in a unique position to continue this incredible endeavor.

This work is expensive and requires the continued support and flow of contributions from around the world to keep the endeavor viable. Please consider supporting SWT and their remarkable Keepers, veterinary team, pilots, helpers, cooks and admin staff to save this keystone species and help them flourish!
