With the Milgis Trust’s gentle support the ecosystem is now regaining its balance. Already elephants are responding to the security presence provided by our scouts, which is exhibited by their increasingly relaxed behavior and their expansion into parts of their former range.
On top of this the Trust has made incredible steps in curbing the burning of the forests, which is vital to the survival of both people and wildlife.
This habitat supports other key species including the Greater and Lesser Kudu, Grevy’s Zebra, DeBrazza’s Monkey and many of the large predators including the endangered African Wild Dog, which are rebuilding in numbers and thriving.
The Milgis Trust's Core Operations Team over the last 6 years has built 3 successful nursery schools as well as being more than half way through completion of a Primary School. Clean drinking water has also been provided to three community centres including schools and medical clinics.The Trust's new tractor unit to date has dug 12 small reservoirs and has been working hard desilting water catchment areas and stemming erosion gullies. The Trust's community Nurse has also been busy in her newly refurbished medical clinic treating the numerous patients that walk for miles seeking treatment.
None of this would have been possible without the stable structure of the Milgis Trust Headquarters and the local Samburu team that keep it running. Without our scouts and radio operators we would not be able to support the unforeseen situations that regularly arise in this remote and tough land.
For the Trust to sustain it's success we need your support and if you would like to share our vision please contact:
