Equip Tanzania

PAWA is helping to equip community rangers in the transborder Selous - Niassa Wildife Corridor of Tanzania and Mozambique. Since 2010, PAWA has supplied laptops, 1st aid kits, GPS units, digital cameras, batteries and chargers to PAMS for their work in helping to protect the largest elephant, buffalo and sable populations in Africa.

Why we Equip Tanzania

Without the right equipment rangers can’t effectively do their job. Resources are scarce in many African countries which means rangers are left with little more than a rifle and ambition to protect wildlife.

PAWA partners with organisations on the ground to deliver and equip rangers with surplus or superseded fire uniforms, cameras, raincoats, field equipment, first aid kits, GPS units and laptops.

Who we partner with

In 2010 PAWA signed an Agreement of Co-operation with the PAMS Foundation to enhance conservation outcomes within Australia and Tanzania. PAMS Foundation is a not-for-profit conservation organisation founded in 2009 and registered in the USA, Tanzania and Italy. Their mission is to empower those who protect wildlife and wild places. PAMS Foundation works to protect endangered species and environments through strategic educational programs, ranger training and assistance with protected area management. PAMS Foundation works with all levels from school children, farmers, local authorities, higher level government, and international stakeholders.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

If you have equipment you can part-with then get in contact with us. What we value is small, light, high value goods that are easy to package and send overseas.

Apart from those already listed, you might have 2 way radios, tents, binoculars, satellite phones, trail cameras, compasses and tablets.

Of course funding is the most important gift. With funds, PAMS Foundation is able to locally purchase bulkier items from their wish list like aviation fuel, vehicles, bicycles, solar panels, etc.
