Eli Weiss, Founder - Director , Wildize Foundation
“ How the Small NGO can Best Direct Public Funding toward Program Success ”
Rather than the standard approach of telling the Africans what they need, WildiZe Foundation asks our applicants, “How can we can help you help yourselves?” WildiZe keys in on two critical challenges: how to get the grantees from where they are to where they want to be, and how to do away with the neo-colonial impression of “I am needy, I am poor, I am helpless.” With our grantees as full participants throughout the contract grant process, our projects have a much better chance of succeeding, while at the same time creating strong partnerships between the grantor, the grantee and the donor. As a global community of valuable beings living in complex systems, bound by the common ground of our Earth, there are always commonalities upon which to base conceptual and contextual relationships for deeper understandings toward reconciliation––people-to-people and people-to-wildlife. Each of us is able to contribute to peace processes by taking Ownership, Accountability and Responsibility (OAR) for our actions, and by communicating this concept of stewardship to our family, our children, our neighbors and peers and by extension, visitors to our respective countries, towns and villages.

“ The Gaerezi Eco-Tourism Enterprise (GETE) ”
The GETE is a community owned and operated tourism enterprise located in the foothills of the Nyangani Mountain Range in Eastern Zimbabwe . The community operates two two-bedroomed lodges that can accommodate six visitors (four privately) each and a campsite. The facility's main attractions are Trout Fly Fishing in the Gaerezi River , mountaineering and walking trails in the mountains. The Gaerezi River with its clean, serene and well aerated water provides the ideal habitat for the Rainbow Trout. The need to maintain the river water clean is discouraging all activities that result in the pollution of the river and the depletion of the fish populations. |
