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 abil

ity 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.

Every Tuesday and Thursday, our incredible volunteers harvest fresh, seasonal vegetables from the Garden of Hope to prepare wholesome, nutritious soup for members of our community.

What begins in the garden becomes so much more than a meal. It's nourishment, care, and hope shared with those who need it most. Every bunch of leafy greens harvested represents the dedication of our volunteers and the power of growing food with purpose.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helps cultivate, harvest, prepare, and serve these meals. Together, we're creating healthier communities, one bowl at a time.

Every Tuesday, our volunteers step into the classroom, where learning becomes a shared experience.

This week's lesson explored the human digestive system, with interactive activities that encouraged curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. From tracing the journey of food through the body to creative classroom exercises, volunteers worked alongside our learners to make science engaging, practical, and fun.

A heartfelt thank you to our amazing volunteers for investing their time, energy, and passion in shaping the next generation. 💚

Unlike lions, tigers, leopards and jaguars, cheetahs can't roar.

Instead, they communicate in unique ways—chirping like birds to call their cubs, barking during social interactions, and growling when they feel threatened. They're also one of the few wild cats that can purr continuously, both while inhaling and exhaling.

Nature has given every species its own voice, and every voice deserves to be protected.

97 kg. One day. One community. One shared purpose. 🌍♻️

Our dedicated staff and volunteers rolled up their sleeves to help keep our community clean, collecting an incredible 97 kg of litter in just one day.

After a rewarding day of making a difference, everyone gathered to enjoy a warm meal together, a simple reminder that conservation is about people as much as it is about nature.

Every bag collected, every piece of litter removed, and every helping hand brings us one step closer to healthier communities and a cleaner environment.

Thank you to everyone who took part.
How much difference can one day make? We think 97 kg speaks for itself.

🏡 Building more than houses. Building opportunity.

Construction of the 40-home San Eco-Village in Epukiro continues to make great progress.

Once completed, these homes will provide identified San community members with safe housing, private ablution facilities, clean running water and electricity, creating a stronger foundation for healthier families and brighter futures.

This project reflects our commitment to improving lives through sustainable community development, ensuring that conservation and people grow together.
Every brick laid is another step towards lasting change.

Some days are busy. Some days are challenging. But there's always time for a little laughter.

Here's a behind-the-scenes moment from our incredible Lifeline Clinic team and volunteers, proving that joy can be found even in the busiest of days.

Sometimes, the best therapy is simply to dance.
