The Wild Wings Educational Trust is a non-profit organisation that offers disadvantaged African children a brighter future through better education.
The Wild Wings Educational Trust was formed by the owners of Wild Wings Safaris in order to give back to the community and improve the lives of disadvantaged children. The best way to escape poverty is through education, so we have dedicated ourselves to improve educational opportunities for children from our local community in South Africa. We survive entirely on grants and donations, and all funds donated go directly to our projects.

Our Khanya is absolutely flying through her primary school years! She is heading towards her grade 6 end-of-year exams.This is what she has to say about the last few months of 2020:
"School has been very different all because of the COVID-19 rules. School is very fun and awesome. Nothing has changed, it is still the same, but with masks and sanitation plus social distance, but it's still fine."
