In Laikipia County, educational opportunities are scarce. Ol Pejeta Conservancy's Rhino Scholarships program is changing that by providing 390 bright, financially disadvantaged students (285 full and 105 partial scholarships) with life-changing secondary education.
The benefits of wildlife conservation must be tangible to even the youngest members of local communities. Conservation does not happen in a vacuum but rather in an open ecosystem: a shared home for communities and wildlife. It is impossible to support one without the other. Children should be the most important guardians against poaching and environmental degradation, two of the biggest threats to wildlife conservation.
This project directly addresses the limited educational opportunities in Laikipia County by providing comprehensive four-year secondary education scholarships to bright, financially disadvantaged students from communities surrounding Ol Pejeta Conservancy. By investing in these students, we're not just offering education; we're cultivating future conservation leaders
The long-term impact of the Rhino Scholarships: Education is Conservation program extends far beyond individual student success. By providing comprehensive secondary education, we are investing in the future of Laikipia County and the broader conservation landscape. As UNESCO highlights, secondary education is a powerful tool for poverty reduction. By empowering these students, we are breaking cycles of poverty and fostering economic development within their communities.
