Become A Friend of The Elephant Foundation
About Friends of TEF
To help us continue our work TEF is pleased to launch ‘Friends of The Elephant Foundation’ to engage more with wildlife animal lovers in Hong Kong. Through a monthly donation, you will become a Friend of the Foundation and will enjoy benefits such as regular information bulletins about what’s happening in the world of wildlife protection, the ability to work with us in our campaigns to raise awareness, take part in various activities and seminars and at the same time support our partnered charity on the ground in Kenya.
We hope this will be attractive to you if:
You are passionate about wildlife and nature
You share the same vision as TEF (in eliminating the illegal trade in wildlife parts and protecting all wildlife, in particular that which is endangered) and would like to help us share this with others
You want to help us educate future generations who will be the ones to take over from us in running companies, governments and organisations about the importance of wildlife conservation
You want to help raise awareness in Hong Kong about the plight of African elephants and rhinos
You want to be engaged in activities that can help African wildlife

FAQ
How many friends do we have at present?
We have 20 friends signed up so far and our target is to get 400 people supporting us with a small donation each month (approx HKD$250). That’s about the cost of 2 cafe lattes a week will go a long way to allowing us to operate and also donate to projects in Kenya.
What will the donations go towards?
Past donations have helped to contribute towards some of our operational costs, allowing us to donate a small amount of US5,000 to Big Life Foundation last year. The breakdown of the donation is listed below:
$2,000 for scholarships- We will be able to help 8 students in Kenya with a one-off ‘emergency’ scholarships that only have a term or two left to complete their school year and run into financial trouble.
$400 for Ambo Trip- This will allow 35 students and 5 teachers to visit the national park for the first time.
$600 for desks- This will cover the cost of making 17 desks for students.
$2,000 for Dog Unit- This will support dog unit operations for 1 month, or the supplies and care for the dogs for 6 months.
