N/a’an ku sê Foundation

N/a’an ku sê Foundation Dr. Rudie and Marlice van Vuuren, together with long-time friend, Dr. Jannes Brandt, started the N/a’an ku sê Foundation in 2006.
(216)

With the support of Dutch philanthropists, Jan and Tineke Verburg, the N/a’an ku sê dream was born. Our purpose is “to help conserve the landscapes of Namibia, to protect the wildlife, and to improve the lives of the people we work with through sustainable innovative commercial activity”. And this vision is perfectly embodied in N/a’an ku sê’s wildlife sanctuary, run by Marlice and her innate ability and desire to care for and protect Namibia’s vulnerable wildlife. Our carnivore conservation research projects further enhance the conservation strides made by N/a’an ku sê, with humanitarian efforts supporting the world’s most ancient culture - a school and clinic provide free education and healthcare to the San community. After all, sustainable and long-term solutions are the key factor in conserving today for tomorrow.

“We believe that we hold this invaluable heritage in our hands for future generations. We cannot undo what has been done, but we can shape our future,” Dr. Rudie van Vuuren

We do not receive any government funding and rely solely on the generosity of donors, ecotourism and the dedication of volunteers to continue our vital work. Our conservation dream… your conservation adventure.

A day of connection, community and plenty of laughter in Epukiro Post 3. 💚

Our volunteers spent the day in the community, visiting families, spending time together and getting involved in a range of activities with the children.

While the kids enjoyed four fun activities, adults and volunteers worked side by side preparing a delicious lunch for everyone to share.

And, of course, no community day would be complete without a lekker LLC vetkoek-making and tasting session! 😋

Thank you to our volunteers and the Epukiro Post 3 community for another beautiful day of connection and shared memories.

Getting our hands dirty for a good cause. 🧱

At Kanaan, our volunteers got stuck in, helping make bricks using cement and crushed glass as part of the ongoing work to improve the community.

This is what volunteering at N/a’an ku sê can look like: getting involved, getting your hands dirty and leaving something meaningful behind.
