<br />
The Matriarch Foundation is a young foundation working hands on in the field of conservation and community involvement.<br />
The Matriarch Foundation works towards a "Blueprint"scenario. This blueprint can eventually be implemented anywhere as long as certain requirements are met.<br />
<br />
Various ingredients have to be present in order to make any project a success. By success we mean the ability of the project to continue in a sustainable manner. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Sustainable=under your own steam and for the long haul=Duurzaam (Dutch)</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The Matriarch Foundation's aim is to help create an economically healthy project that benefits the situation on many levels. On our own we cannot realise the succes of a project but together with our partners, sponsors, other organisations and coalitions working on a local, regional, national and even international level, it is possible to create a completely sustainable situation.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><i><b>Collaboration</b></i></span> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">therefore, is of vital importance to us, but even more important to the project itself.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

<li><i><b>Construction of an emergency shelter in Chobe - Botswana for orphaned baby elephants </b></i> - This project had to be put on hold sadly as Clay Wilson was forced to leave the country by the authorities. We are hoping there will be someone else in the future who can establish an orphanage in Botswana which we can add to the Orphanages network. <b> </b></li>
<li><b> <span style="font-style: italic;">Animal Rescue, Rehabilitation, Protection and Education Centre - A SUNI RIDGE project - SA </span></b>when a rampant bushmeat trade, poaching, smuggling and an altogether blatant disregard for animal life goes hand in hand with unbridled hunger for money<b><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span></b>and there is no control<b> </b>but corruption everywhere, the need for this center is a burning one. <a href="http://www.suni-ridge.org.za/category/wildlife">http://www.suni-ridge.org.za/category/wildlife</a></li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li><i><b>Setting up a network of orphanages to take in elephant and rhino calves in countries in Africa. </b></i>- As poaching is completely spiralling out of control all over Africa the need for safe places for these innocent victims to go to is rising rapidly. <br /><br />Partners in the network so far:<br />- <b>Jumbo Foundation in Malaw</b>i - <a href="http://www.jumbofoundation.com/">http://www.jumbofoundation.com/</a></li>

<br />
<br />
- We are hoping to add Tanzania to the network soon.<br />
