Where we are located

Based in the buffer zone of the Greater Kruger National Park, we work in Sigagule (our flagship Eco Village), Makrepeni (Eco Village), and Metsi Village (Outreach Node), as well as surrounding communities in Mpumalanga, South Africa.

Whom We Serve

We work closely with rural communities living on the edge of protected areas, where the challenges of poverty, unemployment, and limited opportunities can lead to human-wildlife conflict and environmental degradation. Through education, skills development, ecotourism, and enterprise support, we empower individuals—especially youth and women—to become conservation champions and community leaders.

Our Approach & Values

At Nourish, we believe in holistic, community-led development that fosters self-sufficiency and resilience. Our core programs focus on:

🌿 Conservation & Environmental Education – Inspiring future conservation leaders through our Green Kidz program and sustainable initiatives.

📚 Education & Youth Development – Providing early childhood education, after-school support, and life skills training.

💼 Enterprise & Skills Development – Supporting small businesses, vocational training, and job creation.

🏡 Sustainable Tourism & Volunteering – Connecting travelers with meaningful experiences that support local communities and conservation efforts.
