Support My Journey to Wildlife Conservation in South Africa

Hi, my name is Izzy!

I’m 19, a freshman in college, and I’m seeking to raise money for a life-changing 6-week GVI conservation expedition in South Africa. I’m driven, determined, curious, and love adventure, and this opportunity could shape my future while helping protect endangered wildlife.

I’ve been accepted to apply for this expedition, where I would work on a private game reserve alongside an international research team, helping protect lion, elephant, rhino, cheetah, leopard, and buffalo through hands-on conservation work.

This isn’t tourism; it’s real conservation, done in partnership with local organizations and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Experiences like this shape future conservation leaders and create lasting impact far beyond the expedition itself.

I need to raise funds urgently to move forward with the application and prepare for the expedition. Donations will go toward program fees, travel, housing, food, training, and equipment. As a student, this opportunity isn’t possible without support.

Every contribution helps turn passion into purpose. Your support today could help protect wildlife and guide the direction of my future.
