Sponsor a Lion Guardian
Category: Uncategorized | Date: Jul 13 2008 | By: lionguardians
The Lion Guardians program currently employs 13 Maasai warriors (murrans); 9 on Mbirikani Group Ranch and 4 in our new area Eselenkei. The Lion Guardians is a non-profit organisation, and is entirely reliant on donations to fund the project, and pay the wages of these Guardians. You can read more about the work of the Lion Guardians on our website or on the About Lion Guardians page.
The cost of sponsorship is $95 US a month per Guardian. This pays their wages as well as covering monthly costs such as credit for mobile phones, transportation costs, and the administration and other costs involved in running the project.
Just think - it is only about $3/day, which can make a huge difference to the lives of both the remaining wild lions in this area, and the local people that share their land with them.
We are looking for sponsorship for 7 of our Guardians (Guardians Ritei, Koikai, Olubi and Kamunu are currently being sponsored by Richard V, Anne C, Jia L and Brenton H, and Mokoi and Masarie are sponsored by donations from the BBC and production company Beyond). Thank you to all our current sponsors!
If you would like to sponsor one of the Lion Guardians, please add a 1 in the Sponsor a Guardian QTY box under Donate Monthly and click on DONATE MONTHLY. Afterwards you can add a comment about which Guardian you would like to sponsor.
If you think your place of work, school, or someone you know might be able to sponsor a Lion Guardian, please forward this blog address on to them. We will be happy to put their logo and a link to their website on our blog. And if you would like your name next to the Guardian you have sponsored, please let us know.
You will be able to keep track of the successes and exploits of the Lion Guardians and the lions they protect every day through this blog.
Thank you for your support.

We wil donate as much as we can as we are pensioners and have very little money (in oyur society) but we will spreas your cause by Facebook top all our contacts. You are doing a brilliant work but when you hear of countries like China buying of politicians for your oil etc. We only hope that somebody is powerful enough to stop it. For all your children and ours.

Hello Nicki and Bob. Thank you so much for your comment. We are doing what we can to help the wildlife and the people here in Maasailand. The donations and support we get from people like you across the world is invaluable. Thank you, from dry southern Kenya!

What makes anyone think that by destroying nature, they are proving their superiority thus preserving humankind? PLEASE KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK THAT YOU’RE DOING!
