Local Community Partners

The power of access to digital education to transform the lives of young people in rural African communities

Good Work Foundation Justicia Digital Learning Centre (JDLC)
In addition to the SLT’s flagship community partnerships, we support key local partners including the Good Work Foundation (GWF), who provide access to online digital learning hubs in the rural villages, adjacent to Singita Sabi Sand.
SLT was a primary sponsor for the local GWF Campus - JDLC - outside Newington Gate - between 2018 and 2020, and now partners with this campus as part of a broader collaboration.
GWF’s innovative programmes include:
  • An Open Learning Academy that supports English, Mathematics, and e-learning access from Grade 4 (aged 10) and up.
  • A Bridging Academy that prepares high school graduates to step into the job market or further education. In addition to IT and communication training, student counsellors provide detailed career guidance.
  • Further accredited training, aligned with local community needs, is available at the GWF’s Conservation, IT, and Travel and Tourism Academies.

Conservation Partner

Singita Lowveld Trust

Der Singita Lowveld Trust betreut in Südafrika vielfältige Naturschutzprojekte bei Singita Sabi Sand und Singita Kruger National Park – von Anti-Wilderei-Programmen bis hin zu Wildtierforschung und Landmanagement, Nachhaltigkeitsprojekten und Partnerschaften mit den umliegenden Dörfern, beispielsweise Frühförderung, digitales Lernen und eine Kochschule auf internationalem Niveau.
Ein hochqualifiziertes Team von Hundeführern und Spürhunden unterstützt den Kampf gegen Wilderer im Sabi Sand Reserve, während der Trust in Zusammenarbeit mit der internationalen Nichtregierungsorganisation Panthera nachweisen konnte, dass die Gegend die höchste Populationsdichte an Leoparden von allen Schutzgebieten in Südafrika aufweist. Durch das „Furs for Life“-Projekt von Panthera, mit dem Singita zusammenarbeitet, konnte die Nachfrage nach Leopardenfellen um 50 % gesenkt werden.

3 Focus Areas of Conservation

Community

Singita seeks to immerse and connect guests to the nature, culture, and people of a place in ways that honour, sustain, and even help them. It’s a way to ensure that the impact of our travels is as minimal as possible, and wherever it can be, beneficial.

Sustainability

For decades, Singita has taken care to integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our guest experience and operations. Working with local communities and conservation partners, we aim to reduce our and our guests’ impact.

Biodiversity

Surrounded by thousands of hectares, with no other light, sound, or presence except what belongs, balance is preserved – between conservation and tourism, luxury and lightness on the earth, and travel, with the quiet understanding that though it may always leave a trace, it needn’t leave a mark.
