EP-126 Damien Mander

Lauri's Lemonade Stand

Akashinga - The Brave Ones in the Zambezi Valley of Zimbabwe - Strong, brave women with super tough backgrounds have come together under the direction of Damien Mander, Founder of the International Anti-Poaching Foundation (iapf.org) and are a force to be reckoned with. This podcast is about empowering women with hope and bringing positivity to their lives. Damien is doing this and as in any culture, the ripple effects of empowering these women is being felt not only amongst themselves, but it is having positive effects in their communities and the entire eco-system of that community. This shift was met with loads of resistance, but Damien has pushed through every obstacle. You will learn more about his journey here, learn about these incredible women, and then learn what you can do to help this movement continue. I invite you to partake of this podcast and then decide what you can do from your corner of the world to be a conservationist and support the Akashinga Initiative.
