Mission: Create wildlife awareness and conservation in schoolchildren and their communities in the Kasese District of Uganda.

Through classroom presentations and outreach programs to communities in the Kasese district, KWCAO meets its goals by:

Giving students fundamental knowledge about native wildlife and wildlife conservation through educational presentations and materials.
Helping students and community members identify ways they can join wildlife clubs or even establish their own, either at school or home.
Helping students discover new ways to look at wildlife other than the local traditional ways (i.e. source of meat, crop destroyers, local medicine, source of income through poaching, trade, etc.)
Training educators to implement conservation programs in schools and communities.
Developing and implementing several wildlife clubs within the geographic region.
Putting together several traveling suitcases full of educational wildlife props and supplies that are shared among participating schools and communities.
Educating national park neighboring communities about the value of protected areas.
