Can't fly to Nepal to learn how to trim elephant feet but still want to contribute to lasting change for the country's working elephants? You can - by sponsoring a mahout's participation in our foot trimming workshops.
Mahouts are poorly paid and have few, if any, opportunities to improve their skills. But
we can attest that they are eager to learn so they can take better care of their elephants.
Your $50 sponsorship will cover a mahout's room and board during the workshop, transportation to and from, a set of foot trimming tools to keep, hands-on instruction and a small stipend.
Think of your sponsorship as a gift that will keep on giving. When the mahout you sponsor returns home, s/he will be ready to teach other mahouts all s/he has learned, creating lasting change from the inside out.
