About us.
Dream it.
It all begins with an idea. Innovative thinking coupled with traditional leadership create a governance structure which can bring meaningful change to this spectacular corner of northern Kenya.

The most immediate need is to launch the next bold wildlife conservation project, a new community-owned Black Rhino Sanctuary within Kalepo Conservancy.
