A&K Philanthropy 

Mission Statement
Abercrombie & Kent Philanthropy (AKP) is deeply committed to worldwide conservation. We believe that the preservation of our natural and cultural heritages is best accomplished through the sustained unification of environmental and economic goals.

Our Vision
The goal of AKP is to provide long-term support for existing natural ecosystems to ensure the successful and sustainable survival and co-existence of human populations with flora and fauna.

FOC
Founded in 1982 by Jorie Butler-Kent, Friends of Conservation (FOC) is now an established NGO. All AKP projects are supported in conjunction with FOC. The initial programme at the Masai Mara National Reserve has become one of the most comprehensive projects undertaken by FOC and AKP: FOC Conservation Clubs in 50 Mara schools bring the message of conservation to more than 5000 children, a community scouts patrol programme helps the locals monitor wildlife species and their movements and, most recently, a bio-gas demonstration plant that produces renewable energy through cow dung biomass, has been completed.
