Our Story
Izindlovu Fund vzw was founded with a clear mission: to support wildlife conservation projects in South Africa while raising awareness across Europe about the critical importance of protecting our planet's biodiversity.
We are a non-profit organization officially registered in Belgium as a vzw (vereniging zonder winstoogmerk), compliant with Belgian law, under registration number BE0738 518 012.
What Makes Us Different
We only support organizations with whom we have personal contact. This ensures transparency and accountability - your money ends up exactly where it should. We visit the projects we support, work directly with the teams on the ground, and can verify the impact of every euro donated.
Our Approach
- Direct Impact: 100% of your donation goes to the projects we support
- Personal Relationships: We maintain close contact with all partner organizations
- Transparency: Regular updates on how funds are used and the impact achieved
- European Awareness: Educating people about African wildlife conservation
- Long-term Commitment: Supporting sustainable conservation efforts

Donations made through the King Baudouin Foundation (minimum €40 per year) are eligible for tax deductions of up to 45% in Belgium, The Netherlands, France, Luxembourg, and Denmark.
