How does Daktari help?
Daktari is
situated on an animal reserve that has 700 hectares of pristine
natural habitat and can house several natural wild animals.
Suitable animal
holding facilities have been built at the orphanage to house
animals that cannot be released. Both orphaned
and wild animals are used as an education medium into the
importance of the environment.
Children are
accommodated at the orphanage and are given the opportunity
to see, learn about, and experience the unique South African
wildlife, and the importance of sustaining the environment.
Staff and
volunteers teach children, having one child per volunteer/staff
member, and ensure that all the children staying at our
facility learn the basics of several existing school subjects,
including English, Mathematics and Natural Science.
Headmasters and
teachers select the groups of children, and obtain written
permission from the parents.
