Motse’s Community Impact: Making a Difference

Posted by Limpopo-Lipadi on Fri January 17, 2025.

At Limpopo-Lipadi, our commitment goes beyond conservation. Through Motse, we’re dedicated to supporting local communities, and 2024 has seen some incredible progress. Thanks to our supporters, we’ve been able to make a real difference in the lives of people in Tsetsebjwe and Moletemane, two villages near the Reserve.

Supporting Education

In 2024, Motse provided 225 school uniforms to children in need, and we’re thrilled to have been able to cover the costs of three photocopy machines for the local schools, ensuring they have the resources they need. Thanks to Motse’s support, the schools now have assembly areas with proper roofs—no longer just outdoor spaces, but classrooms that can be used year-round.
Improving Healthcare
Motse also helped the local clinic by donating a new baby heart monitor. The clinic’s old one was broken, and there was no budget for a replacement. This contribution will directly impact the health and wellbeing of the community.

Looking to 2025

The lists for 2025 are already piling up, and with your help, we can continue making a positive impact. Whether through donations or spreading the word, your support helps us meet the needs of the community.
If you’re considering a donation, Motse’s community projects would greatly benefit from your support. Every contribution helps us continue providing vital resources to the schools and clinic in Moletemane and Tsetsebjwe.

At the Limpopo-Lipadi, which spans 18 km in length and up to 14 km in width, our wild dogs have roamed every...
