Our Mission

Lewa Canada's main mission is to support conservation, education, community development and research initiatives in East Africa. Lewa Canada is managed by an all-volunteer board.

Lewa Canada acts through qualified agents in Kenya, including the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC).  The all-volunteer efforts of Lewa Canada's Board and Advisory Council have enabled the transfer of over 98% of all funds received to projects in Africa.

Please Note: donors seeking to support specific projects must have designations vetted in advance by Lewa Canada at lewacan@gmail.com. All projects are subject to approval and oversight as determined by the Lewa Canada board in its sole and absolute discretion, in accordance with Canadian law, including designations to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Kenya, the Northern Rangelands Trust, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Tsavo Trust, the Zoological Society of London--Kenya (ZSL-Kenya) and other related organizations.

About THE LEWA WILDLIFE CONSERVANCY (KENYA)

The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy (LWC) in Kenya works as a catalyst for conservation. It does this through the protection and management of species and their habitats, the support of community conservation initiatives, and the education of neighbouring communities in the value of wildlife. The LWC is a non-profit wildlife sanctuary in Kenya covering 62,000 acres. The principal activities of the Conservancy are wildlife conservation and land management combined with extensive community education and health services.  For more information, please visit the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy website at www.lewa.org.
