MWALUA WILDLIFE TRUST
We are very happy to support Patrick Kilonzo's association in Kenya!
Patrick is Kenyan. He lives near national parks where he has seen many animals die in recent years due to the drought affecting this region of Africa. Major health problems did not prevent him from gathering his courage in both hands and starting to create water points so that the animals could get through these periods of extreme drought .
Each pair of SAOLA supports Patrick & his team.
