Founding Partners

The Trust is registered in Zimbabwe and the board of directors includes representatives from The Zambezi Elephant Fund and Rift Valley Corporation.

The Zambezi Elephant Fund (ZEF) has been promoting the conservation and sustainable management of the Zambezi Basin for the benefit of both its wildlife and people since 2015. www.zambezielephantfund.org

Rift Valley is one of Zimbabwe’s largest agricultural companies, bringing finance, technical expertise and other essential inputs to the development of agriculture in Zimbabwe. www.riftvalley.com

The Trust is also supported by the Sustainable Afforestation Association (SAA) – this association was put together by the tobacco industry in an effort to provide sustainable sources of fuel for tobacco curing and to restore and protect vulnerable natural habitat.
