Supporting and making Donations to The AfriCat Foundation and The Namibian Lion Trust
There are several ways to Support AfriCat UK and the conservation work being undertaken in Namibia by The Namibian Lion Trust and The AfriCat Foundation.
AfriCat UK distributes the monies raised to either The Namibian Lion Trust (formally AfriCat North) or The AfriCat Foundation in Namibia. As these are different and distinct charities it is important that you let the team at AfriCat UK know any preferences you may have.
If in any doubt email support@africat.co.uk or email the Trustees direct e.g. janet@africat.co.uk
The AfriCat UK Board of Trustees will allocate funds from any non-specified donations at their discretion to either or both of the above charities. AfriCat UK accounts are available on the Charites Commission website.
