Beading Grandmothers from Cape Town visit Kruger National Park | Elephants Alive & Relate Bracelets

WATCH: Elephants Alive's Ndlopfu Gogo programme is so much more than just community outreach…
👵🏾 When the Wise (grandmothers) meet the Wise (elephants), it opens up these matriarchs’ worlds, connecting them with their purpose.
Their purpose of transferring ancient wisdoms, guiding their families to choose the right path.
The path of kindness towards animals, understanding of nature, the preservation of wildlife heritage.
The ripple effect of their experiences during our Ndlopfu Gogo camps extends deep within their communities, .
‪@relatebraclets‬ provides an opportunity to the gogos from ‪@IkamvaLabantu1‬ senior clubs, to not only earn an extra income by creating the strings of beads that will become bracelets. They also give these seniors a daily purpose, a community, and a chance to have an impact far beyond the townships.
We brought four of these beading gogos to the Kruger Park, where they could see how their beadwork is helping to keep elephants alive. Watch the video to hear their story of this life-changing journey.
Through our now decade-long partnership, Relate Bracelets has raised over 1 million ZAR for elephant conservation🐘❤️🎉
If you’d like to join our herd, you can find our bracelets at Pick ‘n Pay Hoedspruit, the Kruger rest camps and several lodges in the APNR! Or simply send us a message and we will courier your bracelets anywhere in South Africa!
