Kakori 3 -Your Legacy in Action

Guiding the next Generation

Kakori 3 welcomes seasoned professionals to carry their wisdom into a new chapter of impact. This is not about retiring from relevance, but about continuing your journey by guiding those who come after you. Your skills — whether as a scientist, strategist, project manager, or community leader — can shape the next generation of conservationists. Sharing your story and lessons ensures Hwange’s future is built on lived experience and enduring wisdom.

“Even in retirement, I discovered a new purpose here — passing on what I’ve learned to those who will carry the torch forward.”
— Early Kakori 3 Mentor

Educational & Institutional Partnerships

Where research meets real impact

Kakori is a living classroom. We welcome collaborations with universities, schools, and research institutes to deepen learning and expand conservation science. Priority opportunities include:

• University Field Research Trips – biodiversity monitoring, GIS mapping, climate resilience surveys.

• Internships & Study Abroad – tailored placements for undergraduate and postgraduate students.

• Joint Research Projects – co-designed studies with faculty and labs.

• Curriculum Integration – Kakori case studies and data sets embedded into teaching.

• Exchange Programs – fostering knowledge flows between Zimbabwean institutions and global partners.

Conservation is strongest when communities thrive. Our initiatives — Kakori Threads (upcycled billboard bags), Kakori Clay (pottery & earthenware), and Kakori Roots (indigenous tree nurseries) — all generate income, skills, and pride. By supporting these enterprises you’re sustaining both people and nature.

“Selling my pottery through Kakori Clay has helped me send my children to school — it’s more than income, it’s dignity.”
— Kuda Mpala (Local Artisan)
