During their stay in Kenya, photographer duo Feli & Pepita c/o WILDFOX RUNNING visited three schools which are supported by the ANGAMA FOUNDATION. Such support makes it possible to build a new school building and give students access to clean drinking water, school meals, school uniforms and study materials. The foundation is also committed to improving the healthcare system in the region and supporting various wildlife protection programs in the Masai Mara.
Angama Mara is a safari lodge in the Masai Mara in Kenya. In the Kiswahili language, ‘angama’ means ‘suspended in mid-air’; the name refers to the lodge’s location 300 meters (980 ft) above the floor of the Masai Mara. Guests contribute a small nightly donation to the Angama Foundation which has been set up as a separate non-profit entity. These funds are used for various initiatives in the areas of education, healthcare and conservation.
The Angama Foundation works closely with neighboring schools and several conservation organizations including the Mara Conservancy, the Mara Elephant Project and the Anne K. Taylor Fund. It has also built a clinic on the property of Angama Mara for guests, staff and the neighboring communities. The Angama Foundation was the creator of The Greatest Masai Mara Photographer of the Year competition.
