The African Wildlife Foundation ( www.awf.org ) has been at the centre of the Economic, Community, and Conservation Development endeavour at Kijabe. With grants from the US Agency for International Development (www.usaid.gov), it has provided funding for tourism development, and more importantly has worked unstintingly to sensitize and support the community in its Conservation work. AWF continues to provide advice and services to all of us here.
