#CHANGINGLIVES

The success of protecting wildlife and improving the livelihoods of those people living next to wildlife rely upon each other.

Wild and Free Foundation believes that harnessing the rhino's currency to create opportunities that provide tangible benefits to youth by supporting activities they value will demonstrate that securing a future for rhinos is also helping enrich lives and livelihoods.​

Why support a football league in rural Africa?

The RCCL has adopted an unconventional people-centered approach to conservation, whereby conservation is delivered as a means to enrich people's lives, benefiting both conservation and local communities in a much more sustainable and socially-just way.

Given the popularity and importance of soccer in Africa, it is hard to imagine a more fitting mechanism to connect youth in rural communities with protecting their rhino by creating a league that is sponsored by and catalyzed from successful and lasting rhino conservation.​

IN AFRICA, THIS IS THE RCCL

Wild and Free Foundation believes that by harnessing three key emotions, including pride, gratitude, and compassion for rhinos through football, we will make significant contributions towards improving the situation for both youth and rhinos.
