COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM

Elephant Neighbors’ Center (ENC) is a Non- profit Organization that was founded with a vision of reinstating the broken while maintaining humans and wildlife coexistence the changing and dynamic society of today. ENC set a mission to protect the African elephant and secure landscapes for elephants outside the protected areas through various initiatives and multi-stakeholder partnerships. ENC goals and objective emphasis on a three-tier approach: that integrate Community knowledge, Environment and Livelihoods elements to resolve key problems and biases facing conservation in Kenya.

Since 2013, we have reached out to over 9000 schools both primary and secondary schools. We have four projects in support of Community Education Program.

YOUTH & CONSERVATION

Over 9,000 schools in Kenya will be receiving a copy of the documentary with plans to screen with uniformity. ENC plans to incorporate all these schools per the regions in the International Calendar on conservation issues, i.e., Wild Wildlife Day, International Elephant Day, among others, and identify activities.

PUBLIC SCREENING

ENC will collaborate with KWS and show wildlife films/documentaries to the public. This will be done in selected market places or church grounds; Tsavo Conservation Area will be the first phase before replicating to other regions.

Community Based Organizations (CBO’s)

ENC will continue engaging local CBO’s in Tsavo Conservation Area (Tsavo West). So far, Taveta sector has been done and ENC is looking into the Northern and Eastern side. These CBO’s will be brought together and an integrated work plan integrated, based on their core activities.

SPORTS & CONSERVATION

ENC plans to engage the youth through sports and in turn improve their attitudes towards wildlife as well as promoting talents. Local soccer and volley ball teams will be established and a trophy will be awarded on completion, dubbed the “Elephant Cup“.
