Children, Education & Nature Conservation
Our Mission: Children, Education & Nature Conservation
The Capricorn Foundation supports disadvantaged children, young people and structurally weak regions in Africa. Our goals are to unite CHILDREN, EDUCATION & NATURE CONSERVATION.
We focus on projects that provide education for children and young people in rural areas bordering national parks and wildlife corridors. In doing so, the Capricorn Foundation addresses educational deficits and supports species conservation programs.
