In 2024, the Land & Life Foundation partnered with the African Conservation Centre (ACC) to launch Canvas for Change - a creative initiative that empowers students to explore conservation through art. Led by international artist Deborah Ross, the programme features watercolour workshops at schools across Amboseli, where students express critical environmental issues such as drought, flooding, and human-wildlife conflict through painting.

In December 2024, the programme culminated in an exhibition and art competition at Amboseli Sopa Lodge. Winning students received cash prizes, and all participants enjoyed lunch and gift bags courtesy of the hosts.

To extend the impact, select artworks were turned into greeting cards and A3 prints, now available at all Elewana properties. These products have proved so popular they are now on the fourth print run. Proceeds directly support the respective school wildlife clubs and student tuition for the winners of the competition. As of June 2025, Canvas for Change has raised over USD 6,000, a powerful testament to the role of creativity, education, and collaboration in advancing conservation. The campaign started with two schools and a third has just joined. The aim is to increase this figure further enhancing the lives and conservation awareness of students.
