Daktari gets own bracelet in new Relate catalogue
Daktari Bush School and Wildlife Orphanage recently teamed up with Relate for Education.
Relate is a South African-based social non-profit organisation (NPO) enterprise that produces handmade bracelets to create employment opportunities and generate funds for various NGOs. “By joining the Relate family, we combine wildlife and education. When you wear our bracelet, you are actively supporting wildlife conservation and helping to spread the word to young people about this super important cause.
“We have always looked up to Relate and their dedication to important subjects like the NGOs they represent. So, being welcomed into this NGO crew is an amazing opportunity,” said Charlotte Feron of Daktari. She said that their mission is to educate children about wildlife and the environment. “Our orphanage is an incredible opportunity for them to see and learn more about wild animals.

We believe the students we are mentoring are the future guardians of our planet. “By getting them involved in exploring and learning about their local wildlife, we’re giving them hands-on experiences. During their time with us, they also discover job opportunities and the multiple benefits of ecotourism.
“Providing young people with relatable role models is crucial to ensure the future of South Africa,” she added. “Because our mission is so unique, Relate decided we deserved a spot in their catalogue, a spot reserved for one-of-a-kind NGOs. We’re proud and grateful for this chance. When the catalog drops in early March, you can support us by buying our products for your shops or lodges, helping make South Africa an even better place for everyone,” concluded Feron.
