Foster an Elephant

From Aitong, Ajali, Ajok and Alamaya to Lentili, Lesanju, Lewa and Lima Lima. From Ndotto, Ndume, Nelion and Ngasha to Yatta, Ziwa, Zongoloni and Zurura. The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust likes to name its orphaned elephants in a way that can identify them with their origin. They come from every corner of Kenya and from many different elephant populations. Little Oltaiyoni was named after a small tributary running into the Ziwani swamps close to where she was found. Ndotto was named after the Ndoto Mountains, where he was rescued, which in Swahili means 'to dream'.

Create Elephant Beads

We know about ‘the circle of life’ and ‘the food chain’ from watching all the wonderful natural history programs on the television. Nature can be quite brutal…that is a fact of life. No animal though should suffer a cruel, needless and unmerciful death at the hands of man for the greed of man. Poaching is cruel, needless and unmerciful. That is a fact. Please support our crusade…make our beautiful beads and sell them as a symbol of hope for a very young elephant orphaned as a result of its mother’s death due to poaching…hang them in your home…let them be a constant reminder of the life you are part of and are now supporting.

Adopt an Elephant

As one of the Trust’s foster parents you are considered part of the Sheldrick Trust team. Your school will be sent a fostering certificate of your adopted elephant – an interactive map indicating where your orphan was found- a monthly summary highlighting the previous month together with a direct link to the ‘Keeper’s Diary’ for your elephant. Updates of daily calendar entries and photos can be printed off enabling you to keep a journal highlighting the progress of your orphan. You will receive a collectable monthly watercolour by Angela Sheldrick … and from time-to-time you will also receive news of new arrivals and rescues with accompanying photos.
