Capricorn Foundation

Our goal is to address CHILDREN, EDUCATION & NATURE CONSERVATION. We concentrate on supporting projects on education in areas that boarder onto National Parks or Wildlife Corridors by working closely with nature conservation projects and organizations. Preserving Africa’s unique natural resources is vital with a steadily increasing population. Reconciling man and nature is one of our most important goals. Viable resource management, especially in developing countries is of utmost importance. The natural resources of a country (minerals, forests, landscapes and nature) are often the only assets of a population that will essentially secure its survival. The rapid increase in the population of most developing nations requires urgent action regarding the exploitation of these resources. The senseless depletion through the unethical behavior of certain Global Companies and Nations (in particular China) destroys the livelihoods of whole nations for generations. Affected by the destruction are all its people, however structurally weak communities in rural areas are most adversely affected due to the lack of know-how and self-empowerment. The Capricorn Foundation advocates educational programs in these remote areas, especially for girls.
