The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy annual report makes for an uplifting read with details on the conservancy’s success with conservation and community projects helping over 100,000 local people over the last year. 

The report details the success of the conservancy’s rhino conservation work culminating in their ability to translocate 12 black rhinos to the Loisaba conservancy in 2024. Lewa celebrated 33 rhino calf births last year bringing the total population to 273 (130 black and 143 white rhino).

Lewa’s education programme goes from strength to strength with just over 9,000 students benefiting from a variety of opportunities including bursaries and daily nutritious meals plus infrastructure projects to provide dormitories, water tanks, teachers housing and kitchens.

The community development programmes continue to encourage women’s enterprise and sustainable agriculture and agroforestry. Healthcare also remains a priority with almost 40,000 patients served across four Lewa supported clinics.
