Help save the rhino in Zimbabwe

Wish List

We are often asked if there is anything we need in particular, so we have put together a wishlist for those who are thinking of supporting:

FOR THE CONSERVANCY

• Camera traps - for wildlife monitoring and surveillance.
• Rechargeable AA batteries for camera traps.
• Samsung Galaxy Tablets - for recording research data out in the field.
• AA, AAA and 9 Volt Batteries - for rhino tracking telemetry sets. NOT RECHARGEABLE ONES.
• Binoculars - for use by rangers on patrol and volunteers out in the field.
• Solar-powered battery packs/power banks for rangers in the field.

Examples of the above can be found in our Amazon wishlist: https://amz.run/7CKN

FOR THE SCHOOL

• Pens, pencils, coloured pens, highlighters, marker pens and other writing materials
• Erasers, pencil sharpeners
• Poster paints and paint brushes (all different sizes)
• Educational puzzles and games.
• Paper clips, staples, staplers, scissors
• Scientific Calculators.
• Mathematical Sets (rulers, protractors, set squares, compasses (for drawing not navigating!).
• Shelving and shelving units (see Amazon wishlist for details)
• Coat racks (see Amazon wishlist for details)
• Sports Equipment (soccer balls, netballs, tennis racquets, hockey sticks).
• Chess sets (examples in our Amazon wishlist: https://amz.run/7CKN).

For the above, good quality second-hand items are ideal.

CHILDREN’S CLOTHING

• White school socks (all ages 6-18 years old).
• Grey school socks (boys/teens ages 6-18 years old).
• Underwear (boys and girls, all sizes).
• Warm hats / gloves / scarves (black or maroon in colour).
• Clothing for children or adults - all genders, sizes and age!

OTHER ITEMS FOR THE COMMUNITY

• Sewing equipment (please enquire for specifics as much of it is for school uniforms so it needs to be certain colours) such as scissors, zips, cotton, needles, pins, safety pins, buttons.
• Sanitary towels for the older girls.
• Items such as seeds are better off bought here, so if you would like to donate to the gardens then it is much more useful for the gardeners to have the money to spend on the vegetable seeds and seedlings which grow well in the area and in the season.
• Metal childrens water/drinks bottles (250ml/ 500ml/ 750ml).
• Face cloths/small towels.

FOR THE MATERNITY CLINIC

• Maternity pads for new mothers.
• Cotton/cloth (reusable) diapers and safety pins for newborn babies.
• Baby clothing (anything at all - second hand very welcome!).
• Baby blankets.

FOR THE IMIRE LEARNING CENTRE

We have built a learning centre and library for the Imire staff and their families and we now need to equip it inside:

• Old IT equipment such as keyboards, mouse and mouse pads, printers, printer cartridges (ask for details) and other computer consumables
• Old books - for adults and children of all ages, both fiction and non-fiction.
• Old magazines such as Time or National Geographic
• Environmental and animal posters
• Donations for textbooks, a permanent librarian salary and new computers
