Good Hands Safaris Community Programs (GHSCP)

Good Hands Safaris believes in giving back to the community. In this regard, we have programs that enhance and sustain the welfare of the neighborhoods within the attraction sites that support our business. We support local interest groups, self help development projects, and schools. We attach a great deal of importance in meeting this noble goal of extending a helping hand to the needy and impoverished section of the society. We believe that there are those out there who share our dream and would be willing to support us through monetary support, professionalism, and donations. That is the reason why our safaris also cater for special interest groups. As a company we dedicate 2% of our profits in supporting local projects. We understand that our little contribution makes a difference to deserving people out there. We truly believe in the old adage that says a journey of thousand miles starts with a single step. We also understand that as we soldier on with our policy of changing one life at a time, the impact will be felt in the long run and have significant social impact. Some of the projects that we have undertaken and continue to support are:

1. Mai Mahiu Water project: This project is aimed at tapping water from high catchment escapements of the great rift valley to the dry area called Mai Mahiu inhabited by farmers and livestock owners. This project involves securing water pumping equipment, distribution pipes, and storage tanks. These people desperately need clean and reliable water for their animals, farming and personal use. This is a project that we have supported with a donation of water pipes already and plan to support to its completion. A village/community based self help group called “Mai Mahiu Self Help Group” exists for that purpose and donations towards it would be highly appreciated. Please contact us.

2. Rironi Bursary Fund: Good Hands Safaris promotes affordable education to talented children. We are actively involved in supporting educational programs that prepare the local children to become productive citizens and future leaders. We achieve this noble goal by financing a local bursary fund that benefits the top-notch students in Rironi, Kenya. We also extend bursaries to students who major in tourism in a writing skills competition. In a nutshell, GHS contributes to the local community service by helping the residents educate their children in high school and through college education. We have identified merit-oriented benchmarks that govern the award of scholarships, which is coordinated by a local parents board while we provide logistic support and finances. Please contact us for more information. We can arrange for direct project support and a subsidized safari to go visit the needy.

3. Good Hands Safaris also supports and collects donations for other environmental and wildlife conservation groups based in Kenya. For details please contact us.

It is our desire that you will assist us support these projects that will make the inhabitants of this region achieve their basic needs and hopefully be part of the driving forces towards sustainable development. It is our trust that the beneficiaries of our contributions will continue to promote and safeguard Africa’s attractions for future generations to come. For donations to these projects please contact us.

We hope that you will follow your heart and
welcome you to take your journey with good hands....
