Our mission is to reduce poverty and to generate opportunity. The aim of the African Vision Foundation is to transfer sustainable life skills, environmental education and birding conservation knowledge - and to provide tools and equipment - to communities inside or on the borders of national parks, nature reserves, conservancies, wildernesses and remote areas in southern Africa. The skills transfer and tools should improve the quality of life in these communities by furthering both child and adult vitality. This initiative is about incorporating a vision of a sustainable future into the culture and everyday living of communities. Long-term relationships are formed in order to find practical solutions to their needs and challenges to ensure hope for the future. The programme provides significant social and conservation responsibility offsets for donors and sponsors.
