How Else Can I Help?
Tararu Valley Sanctuary is a large project and we would appreciate your help. Our residential volunteers help with the day to day running of the Sanctuary, and local volunteers give much needed support.
If you aren’t able to volunteer but would still like to help, you can still contribute by donating to our campaign (if you think your company might like to help out see here). Tararu Valley Sanctuary relies on community donations – your support – to continue our work.
Why give to Tararu Valley Sanctuary?
1. Our work is very cost-effective. We do not have high administration costs or expensive offices in a city. Our field work is done by dedicated volunteers from all over the world and we get on with it, come rain or shine.
2. Your money works HERE and NOW. A visit to the Sanctuary will literally show you how your money is spent – for pest control, nursery plantings, alternative power generation, and organic gardening.
