Volunteer to Save African Wildlife
Nikela is a virtual team of volunteers. Contribute your expertise, get school or college credits and learn a new skill, Volunteer to save African Wildlife. Learn how you can be part of the solution to save endangered species in Africa.
Some marvelous people are involved with Nikela. As a volunteer run public charity Nikela has no paid staff. Everything is accomplished via in-kind donations of time and expertise from people, like you, who live all around the world and want to do something to save Africa’s endangered and threatened wildlife.
When you donate time and your expertise to Nikela or deeply discount your professional services we let everybody know (plus you get an in-kind donation receipt, credit as a student intern or a glowing letter of recommendation.) We’d love to add your name to the list below.
Send us an email and let’s discuss how you can help.
