Bitcoin donations are received by our Izindlovu Fund and allocated to conservation and community projects including support for the Black Mambas, at our discretion and in line with our mission and governance framework. We do not hold Bitcoin on behalf of third parties.
Together with Luthando from Bitcoin Ekasi, we visited the Black Mambas to learn about their work and share knowledge around Bitcoin. As the Mambas currently depend on traditional financial partners, they are not yet able to accept Bitcoin directly.
Bitcoin donations are therefore accepted by our organisation and held in self-custody. In line with our mission and governance framework, we decide how and when funds are allocated to conservation and community projects. We do not hold Bitcoin on behalf of third parties.
Children in their communities often lack basic economic education, and through this initiative, we hope to make a meaningful difference for both the rangers and the next generation — empowering them with knowledge, opportunity, and financial resilience.
To empower and upskill rural women from targeted communities to build environmental stewardship and inspire behavioral change around wildlife through a multi-generational and non-violent approach.
They believe in a holistic approach to conservation — because protecting wildlife is not only about animals, but also about the communities who live alongside them. Through their courage and dedication, these women protect rhinos, elephants, and other wildlife, while becoming powerful role models within their communities.
Early conservation education creates the right values for the future, and local women are the carriers of these value systems in their families. These rangers serve as role models, and the women within these communities as caregivers, together fostering a culture of stewardship and coexistence with nature.
