Following the successful launch of Canvas for Change creative initiative in 2024 in partnership with the African Conservation Centre (ACC), it has continued to grow in both reach and impact. In 2025, a third school was welcomed into the initiative, expanding opportunities for more students in the Amboseli landscape to engage with conservation through art. The programme was further enriched with the addition of drumming and traditional folk song sessions, which were enthusiastically embraced by the students. These creative elements have deepened engagement and created a joyful, expressive space for learning, alongside the continued focus on conservation through visual art.
Building on the popularity of the original greeting cards, student artworks are now also being printed on tote bags which has been wholeheartedly received by our guests.
Thanks to this continued support, Canvas for Change has now raised over KES 2 million, with all proceeds going directly back to the participating schools. Funds support school fees, wildlife club activities, and future school infrastructure projects, which will be identified in close collaboration with the schools themselves. This growing initiative continues to demonstrate the power of creativity to drive conservation, education, and tangible community benefit.
