Current Sponsorship Needs
Kgalagadi Concervation Coridor Craft Project:
We have received a grant from Conservation International, to work in the
Western
Kgalagadi Conservation Corridor:
The Western Kgalagadi Conservation Corridor project will
contribute to community development through the sustainable use of
natural
resources and to provide capacity building within communities,
Conservation
International (CI) is supporting the development and implementation of
a craft
strategy within the project area.”
We are
planning 5 expeditions/ trips to the region visiting +/-12 villages
grouped into
4 clusters, over the next 6 months.
In-between theses trips we do product development, and
assist the community structures to build market links, source raw
materials,
distribution and marketing tools etc.
We will
be driving from Cape
Town to the area, and for interest sake could
take
different routes each time.
We also
do a trip/progress report after each expedition.
Our
grant funding only covers about 60% of the cost, and we are looking for
sponsorships for some of the hard costs.
Would
Getaway be interested in publishing the expedition “reports”, possibly
as a
series of articles?
We will
be taking a freelance photographer with and will have access to good
quality
photos etc. as part of a barter with him.
Obviously the media coverage of any
sort puts us in a
position to ask suppliers for sponsorship.
