RAPTOR VIEW RESEARCH INSTITUTE
The mission of RVRI is to provide knowledge of raptors (birds of prey) and the ecosystems that support them to the public and scientific community, through research conservation and education. As widespread predators inhabiting all terrestrial ecosystems, raptors serve as valuable indicators of ecosystem health. As “environmental barometers”, or the “coal miner's canary”, raptors are often the first obvious component of an ecosystem to show the negative effects of a failing system. RVRI believes that by protecting raptors and effectively managing for them, we are in turn, protecting the wild integrity of those ecosystems as a whole.

The S.H.E. College Fund
The S.H.E. College Fund (SCF) provides full scholarships for college, university, or trade school education along with comprehensive life skills training and mentorship to young women of Narok County who have been at risk for harmful traditional practices such as Female Genital Mutilation/Cutting (FGM/C) and Early Forced Child Marriage (EFCM) and have found refuge at Safe Houses. There, they are sent to primary and secondary school. Once these young women graduate from secondary school they are no longer protected by the safe houses and, though they have been reconciled with their parents, their families do not have the financial means to pay for post-secondary education. By providing these young women with a post-secondary education, SCF makes it possible for them to acquire the knowledge, skills, experience, and self-confidence to go out into the world, secure a job or start a small business, and serve as role models and changemakers in their communities.
