The Pumba Foundation

Since opening in 2004, Pumba Private Game Reserve has not only focused on being an ecotourism business, but also supporting the surrounding community. As one of the main employers of the Seven Fountains area, Pumba is committed to responsible tourism, conservation, education, community and social upliftment. The initial focus on conservation programs has steadily grown to support projects specifically designed to bring cooperation and support to the entire area.

The Pumba Social Responsibility and Conservation Foundation is funded through generous donations. All funds are directed towards conservation initiatives and projects identified by the local community. All donations are welcome and greatly appreciated.

If your require a Section 18 A tax certificates, we are able to issue you with one.

Women’s Centre: The Seven Fountains Women’s Centre has become the base for a crucial soup kitchen initiative which is feeding up to 150 people a day. Food security is one of the biggest issues in the community and this initiative is vital to the health of the vulnerable and elderly in particular. There is also a space for women to gather and organise initiatives. Empowering women economically is at the heart of this initiative. The Women's Centre will offer a range of entrepreneurship programs, including training, mentorship, and resources to help women start and sustain their businesses. These projects will empower women to take control of their financial futures, promoting self-reliance and economic stability.

Masakhane School Library: Education and early childhood development has always been a major focus of the Pumba Foundation. It was with this in mind that we erected a new library building at the local primary school, Maskhane Combined Primary School, located in Seven Fountains. This community is the heart of Pumba, with the vast majority of staff that work at Pumba coming from Seven Fountains. The library is focussed on providing a space for learners to expand their knowledge and escape to the worlds created by many amazing story tellers and illustrators. Another addition to the library is the introduction of digital tablets and an internet connection. These resources are going a long way in assisting the learners with access to content and alternative learning experiences.

If you feel called to make a meaningful difference, there are many ways you can lend a helping hand to our Foundation. Every contribution, big or small, becomes a lifeline of hope for those who need it most.
