Meat for the Poor Operation

Meat For The Poor Initiative

---

Our Meat for the Poor program was founded by Gordon several years ago in response to the dire lack of quality food available to the children at local schools and orphanages in the village. In an effort to help provide these children with much-needed nourishment, Gordon began offering a unique hunting experience to visitors. Bow hunters were invited to participate in “cull hunts,” where they could harvest cows and ewes while waiting for larger trophy animals. As a part of this program, hunters were asked to donate the meat from their cull hunts to the children in the village.

The response to this program has been overwhelmingly positive, both from the hunters and the children. Upon arriving in the village, hunters are often greeted with singing and dancing from the grateful kids. To date, our Meat for the Poor program has provided nourishing meals to over 400 children in the village.

Due to the success of this program, we have also begun offering it to rifle hunters and have even had several ladies participate in their first African hunt in order to contribute to this noble cause. Additionally, observers on safari often choose to participate in this program as a one-time experience. Overall, our Meat for the Poor program has become a integral part of our operations and continues to make a significant impact on the lives of the children in the village.
