Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature reduces human anger, fear and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature makes humans feel better emotionally and contributes to their physical well-being. Humans are genetically programmed to find trees, plants, water and other nature elements engrossing, and when absorbed by nature scenes are distracted from pain and discomfort. Ellie Cares invites terminally ill children to Adventures with Elephants and we visit hospitals and schools educating the children about nature and the elephants assisted by Ellie, our custom-made Mascot.
We rescue abused and neglected horses and do outreach programs into community areas, and take feed, tack, basic medical supplies and treat the horses and educate the owners. We also bring in abused children and youth and victims of human trafficking to interact with the herd and find peace, healing and hope. We are planning another outreach and need funds to buy the medical supplies and feed. We help 90 children and 40 women every month. We see 60 to 70 horses on each outreach and ensure each one has what it needs and the owner is educated in proper care, feeding and riding. We have made a difference and saved many lives, both horse and human .
Founded 9 years ago, to care for so-called gutter cats or feral cats as commonly known. We trap neuter and return these cats, care for them medically, feeding, etc. During covid we found that less fortunate owners cant afford to spay their pets and contributing to the numerous unwanted litters all destined to be part of this circle. We spay and neuter at least 60 animals per month and care for them. We are proud of what we stand for in Animal Welfare, combatting animal abuse and cruelty by stopping numerous unwanted pets .

Our team of volunteers visit rural communities outside Hoedspruit each month and offer free veterinary care and education on animal welfare, there are no veterinary facilities in these communities. Volunteers vaccinate dogs to prevent common canine diseases from being transmitted to wildlife in adjacent reserves. HALO's goal is to sterilise and vaccinate the majority of the dog population. We are currently building a holding facility in one of the rural communities where dogs can recover from illness and injury and have employed two local people to work full-time caring for the dogs. Funding received from grants and donations is allocated 100% for the care of the dogs.
Building started in 2019 and the steel frame and roof erected with a clear plan and adequate funding. The Barn would become a safe space to house our special needs animals, offer facilities to generate funding for the Sanctuary, provide accommodation for visitors/volunteers/staff, and serve as a hub for our outreach programs with office and training space to facilitate this. Once started, however, COVID struck the globe. The price of steel trebled and we used our entire budget to finish the steel frame and roof. The project was halted so that the Sanctuary could weather lockdown as resources were redirected towards animal care and day to day.
