Futures in the Wild

Futures in the Wild is the community and conservation foundation at the heart of Collection in the Wild. It was born from the belief that protecting wild places must begin with empowering the people who live alongside them.

Futures in the Wild is a locally run, purpose-led initiative based in the northern Maasai Mara, Kenya. It supports education, conservation, health, and women’s empowerment projects that restore balance between people, wildlife, and the land. The program operates through close partnerships with the Enonkishu, Mbokishi, and Ol Chorro Conservancies and the Mara Training Centre — making it a living model of regenerative coexistence.

Our purpose is to restore biodiversity, improve livelihoods, and create a hopeful future for people and wildlife.


We do this by:

  • Educating and inspiring the next generation through conservation libraries, school programs, and eco-literacy projects.

  • Empowering women through Women in the Wild, which supports artisan collectives producing candles, soaps, beadwork, and other crafts that provide sustainable income.

  • Protecting ecosystems through reforestation, regenerative grazing, and community-led conservation practices.

  • Improving access to healthcare and supporting local clinics and veterinary programs.

  • Creating opportunities for local employment and training in tourism, guiding, hospitality, and conservation.

 

Futures in the Wild is about hope, education, and shared prosperity — showing that when communities thrive, nature thrives too. It transforms tourism from a passive experience into a force for good, turning every guest who visits into a part of the story of regeneration and positive change.
