In Kachikau, Botswana, home to the world’s largest elephant population, a new story is being written. One where community, conservation, and technology unite to build a resilient future. This is the Camp Adiva.
Imagine a community living in a state of profound contrast: surrounded by the unparalleled natural beauty of the Chobe Enclave, yet bound by the daily reality of a "wildlife curfew," where a trip after sunset is a life-threatening risk.
This is the story of Kachikau.
We believe the future of conservation lies not in building fences, but in empowering the true guardians of this ecosystem. Our mission is to provide the tools for the people of Chobe to transform their unique context from a challenge into a powerful economic opportunity, creating a beacon of coexistence for the world to see.
Camp Adiva is a for-profit social enterprise designed to build a self-sustaining local economy. We do this through three interconnected pillars:
We are building a solar-powered digital hub to provide hands-on training for the people of Kachikau to produce and monetise high-quality digital content, from live wildlife streams to compelling cultural stories, for a global audience.
We use ethical AI, sensor networks, and collaborative research to gather verifiable data on human-wildlife interactions. This data informs practical, community-led solutions to reduce conflict and ensure the safety of both people and animals.
We create direct pathways for residents to launch digital micro-businesses. By turning data insights into services and media content into products, we foster a resilient local economy directly linked to the preservation of the surrounding ecosystem.
Your direct contribution funds the tangible tools and local salaries for our critical Year 1 validation. You are building the foundation. Feel free to contribute what you can to build and sustain the camp.
Join us as a strategic partner in a risk-mitigated, nationally significant project. Our Fail-Safe Guarantee ensures your investment creates lasting community value.
