Every generous donation & adoption today on Giving Tuesday will be matched!

Thanks to a pledge from a dear friend of Reteti, every single contribution will be matched up to US$150,000 – which means your impact will be doubled, on the spot!

Can you help us meet our target? Together, we can raise $300,000 for community conservation in the next 24 hours.

Can you lend us a hand & double your impact?

Today, on #GivingTuesday, you can help us raise $300,000, which will have a profound ripple effect throughout Reteti Elephant Sanctuary, the vast Mathews Mountain Ecosystem, and the indigenous Samburu community – who have coexisted alongside these elephants for thousands of years.

We raise 85% of our annual funds needed to keep our doors open in the last two months of the year.


It’s no wonder that Giving Tuesday is one of the most important dates for all of us here at Reteti, the keepers and orphans. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, goes a long way today – and we’d be eternally grateful for each helping hand!
