The “Milk Mamma’s” from our Milk to Market program are setting an inspiring example for generations of Samburu women to come.

Meet Nurse Dorcas
When providing medical assistance to a difficult to reach community, it is essential to have a passionate team leader. Meet Nurse Dorcas Lemargeroi, the matriarch of the Sarara Foundation’s Nomadic Healthcare Program.
A Rescue Operation Like No Other
This past weekend we were involved in one of the toughest and most intricate rescues.
Late on Friday evening, we received word from a community herder in Milgis area that not one, but four elephants are stuck in a community well.
The Milk to Market Program
Travel restrictions during lockdown led to start of a milk program that economically empowers Samburu women, while helping Reteti’s elephants get a sustainable, cost effective supply of milk.
Wells for Wildlife
This year, we decided to celebrate World Elephant Day differently. In the light of the ongoing drought and number of elephant rescues, we wanted to take action.
Why elephants prefer to drink the water from wells?
Following the recent rescue of Kalepo, we wanted to give some context as to why the elephants prefer drinking from the wells, despite the obvious dangers associated.
