Recommendations for organizations that fund story telling conservation projects.
Hi wildhub family,
Please could you recommend organizations or donor institutions that fund story telling conservation projects?
I am josephine from Kenya and currently working with Angaza Vijiji Ecoventures www.angazavijiji.co.ke as the projects coordinator and gender liason officer.
Angaza vijiji is an umbrella encompassing many segments and bat conservation is one of the segments. Currently we are in partnership with Bat Conservation International trying to conserve the Hildegarde's Tomb Bat along the Kenyan Coastal areas.
Previously, being an alumni of the prestigious Conservation Leadership Programme i have worked on the conservation of the Hildegardes Tomb Bat in Kilifi County, Kenya.
I am also a proud alumni of the Rufford Small Grants Foundation and the project was geared towardsthe conservation of the straw colored fruitbats in Western Kenya.
I am writing this because I am thinking of using a different approach to conserve the bats. I want to do storytelling conservation of bats ie interviewing people to get both the indigenous and modern stories about bats, their attitudes and perceptions about bats and myths surrounding bats. My main aim is to do videography and photography of the interviews share with locals, media stations etc to enhance public awareness about conservation.
The above can't be achieved without funding proper or enough funding. I kindly request for recommendations about organizations or donor institutions that fund storytelling conservation projects. May it be organizations that fund individuals or NGOs just any. Please share names or links to the funding institutions.
Kindly looking forward to your recommendations.
Regards.
Josephine

Hi Josephine, this is wonderful news! Thank you for sharing and congrats! What does your role as Gender Liaison officer entail?
I was also wondering the following, which may help other job seekers in conservation: what helped you be successful in your job hunt?
Thanks again for sharing your experiences with our community, much appreciated!
Thanks alot Thirza for the congratulatory message.
I have been aplying for the conservation awards and luckily the 2 successful projects were funded by Rufford and CLP with citizen science being the main approach. The study areas were within marginalized and underrepressented areas. These are communities that women are sidelined in most endevours that may benefit the larger community. These are awards that really cherish women representation in the team and people involved. As a gender liason officer my main objective now is to ensure that theres a good representation of women and girls in any project that am directly or indirectly involved in.
What helps in getting a job? Sometimes we have to sacrifice, volunteer and prioritize internships to manouvre to where we really want to be and to become. I have been an intern at Angaza Vijiji for 2 years and the internship ended 1 year ago only to be contacted by the CEO when an opportunity cropped up. Currently Angaza is involved in Bats Conservation International (BCI) Kenyan project and I am in charge of gender balance.
Thanks Thirza.
Congratulations Josephine! Sounds like a really interesting job!
