VThe Kayamoja ArtConnects Trust is a non profit organisation based in Namibia. It developed out of the founder's (Annika Funke Barnard) ArtConnects project which was initiated under the theme: What we learn to love, we learn to respect. Kayamoja ArtConnects creates the opportunity for (disadvantaged) local children to see, meet, learn about and connect with wildlife through art. Kayamoja ArtConnects aims to expose children to the need for and benefits of wildlife conservation during their formative years, to instill in them a lifelong love for wildlife and support for conservation. Kayamoja ArtConnects aims to connect people with animals as well as people from different cultures and age groups with each other by becoming active in conservation through education and art. The Trust is self-financing through the sale of wildlife art from renowned international artists.
