Letter from Coe, Victory & the Nsefu Team!
Dear friends and supporters,
We want to THANK YOU for your support of Nsefu Wildlife throughout the pandemic which unfortunately has carried through to 2021.
As you can imagine…foundations are facing extremely difficult times right now and we are not the exception. Nsefu Wildlife took a stand from the outset to keep our Zambian team financially supported throughout COVID because we couldn’t live with ourselves if we forced the hand of any member of our team to hunt, poach, or snare, to survive. It has been exceedingly difficult to keep our promise, but we have done so with your help. Desperate poverty is rampant in the Nsefu Sector and in the rest of the country and COVID only created more hardship for all. We simply could NOT add to the stress of an impossible situation, and our commitment to being excellent partners is paramount to us. By being supporters of the community, we are establishing strong bonds that ultimately help our mission to protect the wildlife! There is light at the end of the COVID tunnel and we hope you can continue your much-appreciated and much-needed support.
Team Nsefu has been working hard behind the scenes on impactful ideas and plans to chart the future success of our foundation but it is critical that we are able to cover our monthly operations. Ranger Teams and our anti-poaching initiatives cost money and they are our priority. Cofounder Victory Wallace, Board Member/COO Andre Gascoigne, and myself will be in Zambia this summer to work closely with our Team Nsefu Zambia to make sure that each donation continues to create long-term impact in the field. And we have exciting developments and commitments that we will share with you in our next newsletter, so stay tuned!
Please know that despite the pandemic…your foundation is continually “wowing” the people of Nsefu, fellow foundations, and the Department of National Parks & Wildlife. Nsefu Wildlife is fortunate to have passionate and committed people on the team and amazing supporters. THAT is what will save the wildlife of Zambia and help the Nsefu community. 365 days a year we are fighting extinction. We cannot do this without YOU!
Our gratitude is endless. Thank you for being part of it all.
Love, Coe, Victory, and Team Nsefu
