Elephant Education Initiative
YOU CAN CALL US ELEI, PRONOUNCED “ELLIE”
Elephant Education Initiative is a 501c3, our mission is to mitigate human-elephant conflict through impactful education initiatives in Africa and Asia, leveraging sustainable tourism as a catalyst for positive change. We strive to empower local communities with sustainable practices through education to ensure a future for both humans and elephants.
Our Impact
Elephant Education Initiative offers full scholarships to Maasai youth to a university for a higher education degree seeking a career in conservation; international tourism, environmental sciences, environmental law, or Ranger school. Since 2019, we have offered 5 full scholarships to Maasai youth, both men and women.
“I believe my place in elephant conservation is to serve in the area of education. Education can allow a young person or an entire family means to a better job, which offers better stability and financial security. By offering sustainable tourism trips can bring education to individuals in the USA, a more comprehensive way of seeing the world differently. Travel is one of the best forms of education.”
