We share women's stories through short films, writing, and powerful blog pieces.
Meet Lisa.
Her world is built around pangolins, quiet, sensitive animals that have shaped her life as much as she has cared for them.

While on assignment with A&K Sanctuary we visited the Bwindi Women Bicycle Project, a women-led initiative based near Bwindi Impenetrable Forest.
The project centres around bicycles as tools for independence and income. Women lead guided bike tours through the community, learn bicycle mechanics, and use these skills to support their families. It was inspiring to see how something as simple as a bicycle can create opportunity, confidence and freedom of movement.
Spending time with these women reminded us how powerful women-focused projects can be when they are rooted in real needs and local leadership.
Meet Ronja, a field officer with the Endangered Wildlife Trust in the Greater Kruger. Every day she tracks wild dog packs, treats injuries, and jumps into emergencies because with only around 650 wild dogs left in South Africa, every action counts. Her work is hands-on, unpredictable, and deeply impactful, keeping packs alive and communities connected.
She also works with farmers and local communities to reduce conflict and build practical solutions for coexistence. Quiet, steady, and dedicated, Ronja shows how one person can make a real difference for wildlife and people alike.
Watch the full film and read the full story on our website to see Ronja’s work in action.

There is something truly beautiful about watching Maasai women gather under the open sky, beads in hand, their singing filling the air as they work.
During our assignment with we had the privilege of witnessing this moment as women sat together, shared stories and turned centuries-old tradition into opportunity. Every necklace and bracelet represents commitment, creativity and the determination to build something better for their families.
Through partnerships that connect their work to wider markets these women are not just earning an income, they are seizing opportunities and shaping a stronger future for their entire community.
