About Ndovu Foundation

A Story Born at the Edge of the Wild

Founded in February 2026, Ndovu Foundation works at the crossroads of wildlife conservation and human development — near the iconic Tarangire National Park in Tanzania.

01

Wildlife Protection & Anti-Poaching

Human-wildlife conflict is a daily reality for communities near Tarangire. When elephants destroy crops and lions take livestock, the community suffers deeply. We address both sides of this conflict.

Equipping rangers with boots, torches, and protective gear
Anti-poaching training for rangers and community members
Collaboration with WMA (Wildlife Management Areas)
Community education on coexistence with wildlife
Reporting and monitoring systems near park boundaries

02

Day Care & Nursery School Education

Our centre in Burunge B Village offers safe, nurturing early childhood education. We started with 4 children in February 2026 and have grown to 20+ — with a vision to build a full primary school.

Early childhood education from age 2–6
Home-based learning support for families
Nutritional support and meals for enrolled children
Employment of local teachers and caregivers
Freeing mothers to participate in economic activities

03

Community Empowerment & Livelihoods

Poverty and gender inequality are deeply connected to human-wildlife conflict. When communities have stable incomes and opportunities, they become wildlife’s strongest protectors.

Employment creation: teachers, security, administrators
Outreach programs for girls including sanitary provision
Skills training and livelihood workshops
Women-focused economic empowerment programs
Partnerships with WMA and community organizations

04

Albinism Support & Sun Safety

People with albinism face unique challenges in Tanzania’s equatorial climate. We provide critical supplies and education to help them protect themselves and live with dignity.

Sunscreen and sunglasses provision
Protective hats and clothing distribution
Education programs on sun safety and self-care
Community awareness to reduce stigma and discrimination
Linkage to health services and ongoing support

Coming Soon: Primary School

Our biggest dream is building a full primary school — giving children in Burunge B the foundation to succeed all the way through their education journey. Construction planning is underway.

Expanding Across Tanzania

We aim to reach communities near national parks across Tanzania — replicating our model of combining wildlife protection with community empowerment wherever human-wildlife conflict threatens livelihoods.
