WHO WE ARE
The idea of the Leopardess Foundation came after my first trip to Africa in December 2013. On June 6th 2014, the foundation was signed into life by the founding board members on a rock in Laikipia, Kenya.
From that moment on, we started creating a portfolio of projects with a variety of causes, trying to help making a difference. Our goal is to help. Help protecting wildlife, help people, help preseving the natural environment, as they all go hand in hand.

WHAT WE DO
We are a 100% volunteer organisation.
We are a 100% volunteer organisation, with a small but efficient structure based in Switzerland and Kenya.
We have 3 main aims: animals, people, environment.
Our first aim is to help protecting wildlife and particularly elephants and their habitat. We have been helping projects that monitor elephant movements, specifically in regard to HWC (human-wildlife conflict).
The second aim is to support local populations in different countries, by donating to projects that are helping economically sustainable businesses, better health facilities, and water accessibility. We also believe that the future of the world depends on helping children receive an education. We do this by contributing to local schools and by paying scholarships and enrollment fees in different countries.
The third aim is to preserve the natural environment. We have started our own project protecting and restoring a landscape in Kenya. Land has been put into a Kenyan Trust, the Lorien Trust, with the goal of regenerating a forest.
Our one rule is that we have to be 100% passionate about our projects.
