About Likana Foundation
Building a sustainable future through conservation, innovation, and community empowerment.
Our story
Likana Foundation was founded with a vision to create lasting change in communities across Africa. We recognized that true conservation requires more than protecting wildlife—it demands empowering the people who share these landscapes.
Since our inception, we have worked alongside local communities to develop sustainable solutions that benefit both people and nature. Our approach combines traditional knowledge with modern innovation, creating programs that address real needs while protecting our natural heritage.
Today, we operate across six key focus areas, each designed to create interconnected impact. From wildlife protection to digital healthcare, our work demonstrates that conservation and development can thrive together.
