For years, Lewa’s bursary programme has been a lifeline for bright students with big dreams. Now, it’s evolving into something even more powerful – a model designed to ensure that every child from our Lewa-supported schools has the chance to continue their education. Learn what’s changing and why it matters from Purity Kinoti, Head of the Lewa Education Programme, in the video below. #Education #Lewa #Kenya (fb)

Vervet monkeys are intelligent and adorable, but their presence forms a formidable challenge for farmers when they forage on agricultural land. As human populations expand and farming activities intensify, the increased overlap between human settlements and wildlife habitats leads to a rise in human-wildlife encounters. To foster coexistence, Lewa is actively exploring and implementing a range of strategies. These include installing outrigger fencing, which are horizontal barriers designed to deter monkeys, and raising community awareness about effective non-lethal deterrents. Additionally, Lewa promotes sustainable farming practices and works to restore natural habitats, ensuring monkeys have better access to food and shelter within their native environment. 📸 @tjtriage #Lewa #Kenya #Wildlife (fb)
