ELEI'S MISSION
Our mission is to help mitigate human elephant conflict through education initiatives for local communities around the world.
ELEI'S VISION
Our vision is to live in a world where elephants are no longer endangered and young people are offered the opportunity for higher education.
CURRENT PROJECTS
Our immediate goal is to offer wildlife inspired scholarships to the Maasai young people surrounding Amboseli National Park in Kenya. There are currently 6 communities, Group Ranches, surrounding the park. ELEI plans to pick one person from each community and send them on a full scholarship to university for three optional majors: veterinarian, international tourism, or ranger school.
The benefits of each degree would be as follows: an international tourism degree would allow the Maasai to be qualified to be employed at the local lodges and the non-profits in the surrounding the park; by sending the Maasai to ranger school, there would be more rangers in the area which means rangers could begin to work inside and outside of the park boundaries to help mitigate conflict where the Maasai live; by employing veterinarians in the area, the veterinarians are not only able to take care of the elephants but they are also able to do local house calls to assist with livestock care. ELEI hopes that with a wildlife inspired scholarship, the Maasai will then start seeing the benefits of having conservation in their area.
ELEI’s long term goal is to expand to any part of the world where there is human elephant conflict and providing long term sustainability for conservation through the hope and promise that education provides.
