Where Conservation meets ingenuity

⚽ One goal - zero poaching
In a former poaching hotspot, Kakori launched the Conservation Soccer League. By giving young men pride and purpose on the pitch, poaching incidents dropped to zero. Their rallying cry says it all: “One goal - zero Poaching.”

🧱 From Bottles to Bricks
Glass waste once littered Hwange. Today, Kakori crushes bottles into sand and upcycles them into bricks — building the Kakori Conservation Centre. Waste has become the foundation of hope, turning a problem into progress.

🌿 Cooling with Clay
Instead of air conditioners, Kakori designed the Conservation Hub with nature as our engineer. Clay walls with dripping water and underground vents regulate temperatures sustainably, proving biophilic design can cool communities and cut carbon.
