CHILDREN IN THE WILDERNESS IN A NUTSHELL
Children in the Wilderness (CITW) is a life skills and environmental educational programme for children who live in the neighbouring villages around the wild areas in which Wilderness Safaris operates.
CITW began in 2001 in Botswana and currently takes place in seven countries: Botswana, Malawi, Namibia, Rwanda, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe.
In 2017, Children in the Wilderness supported over 3 300 children in Eco-Clubs and trained over 100 Eco-Mentors/teachers.Since CITW is a not-for-profit organisation, it relies on funds donated by the Wilderness Wildlife Trust, interested donors, or fundraising events such as the Tour de Tuli mountain bike event.
Children in the Wilderness increases children’s awareness, bridges cultural divides, broadens horizons, builds confidence, provides opportunities for new friendships and choices, and reveals career opportunities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lsu-f7EhRzU
