Nourish is a Non Profit Organisation registered with the Department of Social Development in South Africa. Started by a local girl in 2011, Nourish was created to be a platform that could link conservation needs, issues and ideals with community issues and ideals. Nourish aims at finding integrated sustainable solutions to conservation issues such as poverty, low education standards, lack of food security, and unemployment.

Finding solutions that break the poverty cycle and create healthy resilient communities are ultimately solutions that link these individuals and communities back to their wildlife heritage and the jobs/opportunities created in the wildlife and tourism economy.

Nourish's work is really a focus on 2 aspects: Community and Conservation. If you have a little time, check out the amazing video done by Photographers Without Borders, during their visit to Nourish Eco Village - focusing on how community development looks "Beyond the Gun" to help address poaching in South Africa.  This video will give you a good insight into why we do the work we do, and why it's so important. A 'people-first' conservation approach, that makes a real difference! Thank you Protrack Anti-Poaching Unit for backing up our work, and Photographers without Borders for documenting what we do!
