Painting, playing, and learning about the environment – Thank you to our sponsor, the Gertrud Frohn Foundation

Thanks to this generous support, essential learning materials could be produced and distributed: the workbooks (Volumes 1–3) have been delivered to our SAVE networks in Botswana (Maun, Boteti, Chobe, Shakawe, Tutume Central), where children in our playgroups are already using them with great enthusiasm.
In Botswana, SAVE currently supports 40 playgroups attended by more than 1,390 children. Our holistic Education for Conservation (E4C) approach is built on three pillars—environmental education, wildlife conservation, and community development—and is now being strengthened not only through teachers, but also through these new learning materials.

We believe that sustainable conservation can only succeed when people are actively involved in shaping change and have access to knowledge about their environment. That is why we start with the youngest. At the same time, our playgroups provide essential support for many families in Botswana’s sparsely populated regions, where access to childcare is otherwise very limited. In Botswana, SAVE currently supports 40 playgroups attended by more than 1,390 children.
