WILDERNESS Explorers will celebrate its 20th anniversary by launching a “Wilderness Explorers Foundation”, a non-governmental organization (NGO) to support projects that are involved in conservation and sustainability in communities.

The intention is to raise funds to undertake projects that would improve societies and enhance the tourism sector. The company would be starting up the foundation with an initial deposit of US$1000.

The company plans to undertake worthwhile projects of short- and long-term duration that support conservation of the environment, and sustainable projects that will be beneficial to local communities in an environmentally friendly manner. Projects that impact the environment and the less fortunate will also be undertaken in communities.

The first project to be undertaken involves providing support to two children with disabilities in the community of Rewa.
