Giving to a Non-Profit Organization in Kenya
The Giraffe Centre in Nairobi, Kenya was founded by a non-profit organization known as the African Fund for Endangered Wildlife (AFEW). AFEW aims to educate the community locally and abroad of the issues faced with wildlife and the environment.
The ticket you purchase for entry into the park is donated directly to the organizations efforts in Kenya. This is not only the perfect stop for a family or school children, but also for anyone that appreciates wildlife and preserving their existence!
As you enter the park, walk towards the gates that separate the guests from the giraffes. You will find buckets of animal feed and a washing station to clean your hands.
Don’t be afraid! Grab a few pellets, hold your hand out flat, and feed a giraffe.
Vision: A world living in harmony with nature
