Foster an orphan elephant

Digitally foster a rescued orphan elephant or rhino cared for at the Trust's Nursery in Kenya, with round-the-clock keeper and veterinary care; fosters receive monthly updates on their orphan. Orphaned elephants can take years to be rehabilitated and released back into the wild, so fostering supports a long-term process rather than a short rescue.

Our take

The monthly updates on your specific fostered orphan are what set this apart from a generic donation — worth it if you want an ongoing, personal connection to the animal rather than a one-off gift. Since rehabilitation can take years before an orphan is ready for the wild, fostering also means supporting a process with a real, multi-year arc rather than a single rescue moment.
