PROJECT REPORT

CELEBRATING 15 YEARS OF MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens

CAN CHANGE THE WORLD; Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.

-Margaret Mead (1901 - 1978)

INTRODUCTION In 2017 we are proudly celebrating our 15th anniversary and thought this was the perfect opportunity to reflect on all the incredible work that we’ve done since 2002.

None of this could have been achieved without our committed volunteers, staff, project partners, fundraisers and generous donors, so this is dedicated to all of you. Hopefully you are as proud as we are at the amazing projects we’ve worked on together and how important your continued support is to us.

For those of you that are yet to experience one of our adventures, this review will give you a great insight into why we do what we do and how, by working together, we can achieve lasting positive global change.

All of our projects featured here are either funded directly by Camps International, or by generous donations through the Camps Foundation.

OUR JOURNEY SO FAR We’ve come a long way since 2002. From a single camp in the middle of the African bush, we now operate globally, with more than 20 permanent camps in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Our team comprises 150 dedicated permanent staff and a further 150 seasonal staff. More than 22,000 volunteers have travelled with us since 2003 and worked on over 250 different projects, resulting in more than 80,000 volunteer working weeks!

FOR PEOPLE We strive for lasting positive change by supporting rural and indigenous communities around the world to improve their living standards.

We focus on improving access to proper education, training and healthcare and work to secure fresh clean water and shelter for those most in need.

FOR WILDLIFE We conserve, protect and enhance the world’s most fragile ecosystems to benefit wildlife, many of which are critically endangered.

We provide education on the importance of sustainable development and responsible environmental stewardship.

FOR YOU At the same time we offer life-changing, inspiring and fulfilling travel experiences, giving everyone a chance to make a real and lasting difference.

OUR LOCATIONS Access to good schools, healthcare, electricity, safe water and other critical services remains elusive for those living in remote areas. We work exclusively in rural villages and wildlife conservation areas where poverty levels are high and there is virtually no form of income beyond small scale agriculture. Our environmental work targets six of the world’s biodiversity hotspots in order to maximise our positive contribution to global conservation.

HOUSING & WELFARE It’s estimated more than 1 billion people worldwide are homeless* and as many again may be lacking adequate housing.

We believe that everyone should have access to shelter.

Community Facilities

A well maintained hall is often indicative of the health of the wider community, functioning as an administrative centre, meeting place and recreational space that benefits young and old. Halls are also an important source of income as rooms can be hired out for specific functions (below left, Bongkud Community Hall under construction).

Community centres play an important role in village life, especially in rural

Kenya).

Public Amenities People living in rural areas are isolated and often have to travel long distances every day to get to school, work or to obtain essential resources such as water and food. However, these locations are also forgotten in terms of public services funding. Eroded roads, broken bridges and overgrown footpaths hamper people’s daily activities and impact the community’s wellbeing.

We’ve created dozens of footpaths connecting small villages, constructed 10 suspension and static bridges (9 in Borneo, pictured right, 1 in Ecuador), and installed sheltered bus stops in Ecuador to ease daily movements for the community and improve safety.

Maca, Peru

Residential Home for the Elderly 2016-2017 Around 180 elderly people live in the Maca community, a poverty stricken region of Peru. Most of their children have been forced away from the community in search of work, leaving the elderly to manage the farms. However, they are unable to continue working, and without anyone to care for them, their futures look bleak. They’ve set up a partnership to support one another and were all living together in the president’s house. However, conditions were extremely cramped and overcrowded and insufficient for the number of people needing care.

In early 2017 we completed the construction of a purpose built house for the elderly where they can have their meals together, hold meetings, produce their fruit and vegetables and continue making beautiful handwoven handicrafts.

Tsavo, Kenya

Water for Wildlife 2008- current It’s not just people that are in desperate need of drinking water.

Rukinga Sanctuary is located in the Taru desert and borders the world famous Tsavo National Parks.

This region receives sunshine almost 365 days a year, so when the natural waterholes dry up - as they often do - the sanctuary provides water in old cattle tanks. This water is essential to the survival of the animals here, especially considering that a single elephant can drink 50 gallons a day and will continue to search for water until it finds some – even if this means tearing up water pipes or raiding surrounding communities where they get into all sorts of trouble.

We have supported the sanctuary in providing water through digging and improving natural waterholes, improving inflow channels to water catchment areas, or renovating one of the many cattle tanks that are a vital source of water for up to 1,000 elephants. We’ve also provided financial support in order to keep the water tanks filled during periods of drought.

Makongeni, Kenya

Mangroves and Agro-fisheries 2007-2010 Baraka Conservation Group was founded in 2004 by a group of local women from Makongeni to support sustainable marine based livelihoods. This was prompted by the 2004 Tsunami, which damaged large parts of Makongeni’s mangrove system, an essential habitat for marine life and source of food for the village.

In 2007 we started to assist the group through volunteer participation and visitor fees, helping the women expand this enterprise. This community managed aquaculture project involved essential mangrove conservation, reforestation and education, agro-fisheries support, building crab cages, and developing eco-tourism in the area.

IMPROVED

Hygiene As many as 2.2 million children each year die from preventable and treatable diseases like diarrhoea and pneumonia because of inadequate sanitation or because they are too poor to afford proper medical treatment.

Our global sanitation project has built more than 135 toilet blocks and washing facilities across Africa, Asia and South America. We want to ensure that every one of our schools and communities have access to proper sanitation to eliminate diseases caused by poor hygiene.

initiated school feeding programmes in the poorest regions, there is usually nowhere to store, prepare and cook food safely and hygienically.

We’ve built 20 new school kitchens and dining areas as well as installing 2,000 fuel efficient stoves in schools and homes. These stoves are a much cleaner, safer and healthier method of cooking compared to the traditional three-stone method, reducing the risk of burns, eye and respiratory diseases associated with smoke exposure.

Healthcare Outreach Since 2011 our healthcare outreach programme has helped 27,000 people in Kenya. We run regular clinics, giving the poorest and most isolated communities an opportunity to receive free medical care and support (left). We also strive to improve medical facilities and foster skills and information exchange between UK medical professionals and regional clinics and hospitals. In 2012 we expanded Muhaka dispensary and built an emergency ward for those too sick to get to the main hospital that is more than an hour away by bus.

Kajllarakay Toilet Project 2016 - current We’re developing sanitation facilities for an entire community in Peru.

Kajllarakay is in a remote region of Peru that has been largely forgotten in terms of development. In 2016 we started working closely with the local municipality to fulfil basic sanitation requirements in the community. These include flushing toilets, sinks and shower facilities with associated water storage and plumbing.

So far we’ve finished 30 toilets and are adding the finishing touches to a further 15 toilets and hand washing facilities. This means that now around 150 people have access to these much needed resources.

Kindergartens & Day Care

In Borneo, children start school at 7 years old without any previous education and most are not able to read or write. In rural communities of Ecuador and Peru men usually work away from the family home for weeks at a time. Women work either as domestic staff or as farm workers, also resulting in long hours away from the family home. This family dynamic is having a detrimental impact on the development and

education or care.

We have built a number of kindergartens and day care centres to provide a safe and productive learning space for young children, freeing parents up to work and earn extra income for their families.

Sports Coaching Sports development can play a crucial role in developing young people physically, socially and emotionally by improving health and fitness, problem solving, boosting self-esteem, fostering social competence and supporting academic achievement. At the moment rural schools do not receive any funding for teaching sports and girls are usually left out of any sporting activities.

Our programme has provided 12 schools in Kenya and Tanzania with sports kits and enabled 3,500 children to receive sports coaching. Many thousands more are now benefitting from new and improved sports facilities.

PROTECTING OUR

Wildlife Global biodiversity is being lost much faster than the natural rate of extinction due to changes in land use, over-exploitation of natural resources, climate change and pollution. This is not just disastrous for animals but also for our own continued survival, as at least 40% of the world’s economy and 80% of the needs of the poor are derived from biological resources.

Our conservation projects are located in six of the world’s biodiversity hotspots (opposite page: top) where we can make the most significant difference to the most vulnerable species. We strive to empower local communities to conserve their wild spaces and achieve long term sustainable management of natural resources.

Elephant Conservation 2005-2010 Elephants are in trouble. Every 15 minutes an elephant is killed for its ivory and we are running a very real risk of losing them altogether in the next decade without a determined conservation effort.

We provided ongoing support to Mwaluganje Elephant Sanctuary in Kenya by promoting elephant conservation and eco-tourism before moving our main conservation project to Tsavo. Together with our volunteers we helped to raise the profile of the sanctuary, regularly monitored the wildlife and developed alternative sources of income for the community so that they could see tangible benefits from protecting their wildlife.

More than 80% of the Earth’s natural forests have been destroyed for agriculture development or resource extraction*.

Batu Puteh, Borneo

Jungle Regeneration 2009 - current The jungle bordering the Kinabatangan River is one of the most biologically important areas of the world, yet it is also one of the most damaged and vulnerable due to logging and the palm oil industry.

This environment is home to nine different species of primate, including critically endangered Orangutans and Proboscis monkeys; a large-nosed monkey that can only be found in Borneo.

The forest is also teeming with a wide variety of other animals including elephants, Sun bears, Clouded leopards and hundreds of species of bird.

Since 2009 we have been working with the community of Batu Puteh to regenerate the most damaged parts of the jungle through an extensive reforestation programme. Volunteers are involved in collecting and planting seeds, rearing saplings and transplanting established plants into the jungle. So far, we estimate that we have planted more than 100,000 trees along the banks of the Kinabatangan.
