Where we work
The Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro region
The Big Girl Foundation's area of operation includes the approximately 1.6 million hectare Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro (Greater Amboseli) ecosystem in East Africa. It stretches from the rangelands north of Amboseli through the Chyulu Hills and Tsavo West National Park in the east to Kilimanjaro National Park in the south.
We work closely with the Big Life Foundation, who have built an impressive wildlife conservation project in this area and also have a strong focus on supporting local communities. Since its inception, the Big Life Foundation has become one of the most important organizations in the Amboseli-Tsavo-Kilimanjaro area and today employs hundreds of local Maasai rangers with more than 30 permanent outposts and field units, 14 patrol vehicles, 2 sniffer dogs and 2 aerial surveillance aircraft of the area.
With the “Big Girls” project, we actively support the protection of the living space by giving girls and women in the region access to education. With the “Big Girls” project, we actively support the protection of the living space by giving girls and women in the region access to education.
