| FORM 990, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4A | DAZZLE AFRICA'S MISSION IS TO PARTNER WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS TO PROVIDE PROGRAMS IN CONSERVATION, EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT. THE ORGANIZATION AIMS TO ENSURE THAT FUTURE GENERATIONS ARE SELF-SUFFICIENT AND ICONIC AFRICAN WILDLIFE THRIVE. WITH OUR PARTNERS, WE'VE PROVIDED WATER FOR 28,000 RESIDENTS, SPONSORED 44 STUDENTS TO PURSUE EDUCATION, AND INVESTED OVER 3.2 MILLION DOLLARS IN LOCAL CONSERVATION AND COMMUNITY INITIATIVES THROUGH OUR THREE PROGRAM PILLARS OF CONSERVATION, COLLEGE EDUCATION, AND CLEAN WATER. ZAMBIA'S SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK AND THE ENTIRE LUANGWA VALLEY ARE HOME TO AN INCREDIBLE DIVERSITY OF WILDLIFE, INCLUDING MANY ENDANGERED SPECIES. THIS LARGE, UNFENCED LANDSCAPE SERVES AS AN ESSENTIAL PROTECTED HAVEN FOR BIODIVERSITY, INCREASINGLY UNCOMMON IN AFRICA AND AROUND THE WORLD. HOWEVER, WILDLIFE IN THE AREA FACE CRITICAL THREATS. POACHING POSES A MAJOR DANGER TO MANY SPECIES, AS THE WIRE SNARES COMMONLY USED BY POACHERS INDISCRIMINATELY TARGET ALL ANIMALS IN AN AREA. MANY ANIMALS LOSE THEIR LIVES TO SNARES AND OTHER POACHING METHODS EVERY YEAR IN THE LUANGWA VALLEY. AS COMMUNITIES EXPAND, THESE BIODIVERSE AREAS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCING MORE HUMAN-WILDLIFE CONFLICT AS RESIDENTS TRY TO PROVIDE FOR THEIR FAMILIES. DAZZLE AFRICA SUPPORTS CONSERVATION SOUTH LUANGWA TO PROTECT VULNERABLE AND THREATENED SPECIES THROUGH ANTI-POACHING MEASURES. THE GROUND PATROL TEAMS COVERED A TOTAL OF 64,889 KM IN 2024 ACROSS PATROLS OF VARIOUS LENGTHS, INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF DEPLOYMENTS COVERING MULTIPLE DAYS IN THE BUSH. IN 2024, THE TEAM'S FOOT PATROL COVERAGE INCREASED BY 23% FROM THE PREVIOUS YEAR. THIS TIRELESS WORK LED TO THE REMOVAL OF 683 KG OF IVORY, APPREHENSION OF 187 WILDLIFE CRIME SUSPECTS, CONFISCATION OF 657 KG OF BUSHMEAT, AND RECOVERY OF 540 SNARES. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THEIR IMPACT, THE K9 UNIT ALONE IN 2024 SUPPORTED IN RECOVERING 81 FIREARMS, SEVERAL KILOGRAMS OF BUSHMEAT, AND A PANGOLIN CARCASS AND CONDUCTED A TOTAL OF 178 OPERATIONS SEARCHING BUILDINGS AND VEHICLES. DAZZLE AFRICA SUPPORTS A RADIO PROGRAM, THE CONSERVATION HOUR RADIO SHOW, THAT IS A JOINT PROJECT OF CONSERVATION PARTNERS ZCP, CSL, AND CHIPEMBELE WILDLIFE EDUCATION TRUST (A LOCAL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION ORGANIZATION BASED IN THE SOUTH LUANGWA AREA). DAZZLE AFRICA COLLABORATES WITH OUR PARTNERS CONSERVATION SOUTH LUANGWA AND ZAMBIAN CARNIVORE PROGRAMME TO FUND THE FIRST FULL-TIME WILDLIFE VETERINARIAN IN SOUTH LUANGWA VALLEY, DR. MWAMBA SICHANDE. HIS WORK IS CRUCIAL FOR SAVING WILDLIFE IN SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK AND THE SURROUNDING AREA THROUGH RESCUE OPERATIONS AND COMMUNITY-BASED VETERINARY WORK. IN 2024, THE VETERINARY TEAM DE-SNARED A TOTAL OF 7 ANIMALS IN THE FIELD, AND HELPED DEPLOY 23 COLLARS ON WILD DOGS AND 18 ON LIONS, IN ADDITION TO REPLACING COLLARS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY DEPLOYED. IN THE REALM OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS, THE TEAM TREATED 571 ANIMALS IN RURAL COMMUNITIES, AND 445 ANIMALS AT THE BASE CLINIC IN MFUWE. 45 DOGS AND 15 CATS WERE SPAYED AND NEUTERED, AND ALMOST 700 WERE VACCINATED AGAINST RABIES PROTECTING BOTH DOMESTIC AND WILD ANIMALS. SICHANDE AND HIS TEAM ALSO SERVE DOMESTIC ANIMALS WITH VACCINATIONS, SPAY AND NEUTER SURGERIES, AND OTHER MEDICAL CARE. DAZZLE AFRICA ASSISTS IN OPERATIONAL FUNDING FOR THE ONLY PLANE IN SOUTH LUANGWA NATIONAL PARK USED FOR ANTI-POACHING OPERATIONS AND LARGE CARNIVORE RESEARCH. THANKS TO THIS PROGRAM, 80% OF THE PARK AND 19% OF THE NEIGHBORING GAME MANAGEMENT AREAS WERE COVERED BY ANTIPOACHING SURVEILLANCE OVER 162 FLIGHT HOURS BY THE AERIAL TEAM. THESE FLIGHTS ALLOWED THE TEAM TO IDENTIFY 242 POINTS ALONG POACHING ROUTES AND 35 POACHER CAMPS, PLUS OTHER SIGNS OF ILLEGAL ACTIVITY. WE ALSO FUND A CRITICAL HELICOPTER PROGRAM FOR CONSERVATION SOUTH LUANGWA IN SOUTH LUANGWA VALLEY, ZAMBIA. THIS ONGOING PROGRAM ALLOWS RAPID PATROL DEPLOYMENT AT THE SCENES OF POACHING INCIDENTS AND YEAR-ROUND ABILITY TO MONITOR PROTECTED AREAS, BOTH DETERRING POACHING. IN 2024, THE HELICOPTER TEAM COVERED 60% OF THE NATIONAL PARK OVER 117 FLYING HOURS. FROM THESE HELICOPTER OPERATIONS, THE TEAM APPREHENDED 9 POACHING SUSPECTS, CONFISCATED 17 FIREARMS, AND IDENTIFIED 3 ELEPHANT CARCASSES - JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF THE TEAM'S IMPACT. DAZZLE AFRICA HAS PROVIDED SATELLITE COLLARS THAT ARE USED IN ZAMBIAN CARNIVORE PROGRAMME'S RESEARCH, SURVEILLANCE, AND ANTI-POACHING EFFORTS. IN 2024, A TOTAL OF 1,262 CARNIVORES FROM 149 GROUPS WERE MONITORED USING COLLARS. AT DAZZLE AFRICA, WE BELIEVE THAT ALL YOUNG PEOPLE DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS. WE REMOVE BARRIERS TO COLLEGE BY SPONSORING THE MOST VULNERABLE AND HARD-WORKING STUDENTS IN THE REGION, WHO HAVE STRONG ACADEMIC ABILITIES BUT DO NOT HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO PURSUE THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS. OUR SPONSORSHIPS PRIMARILY SUPPORT HIGHER EDUCATION, EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO ACHIEVE THEIR DREAMS AND SUPPORT THEIR COMMUNITY. SOME OF THESE STUDENTS HAVE PURSUED CAREERS IN VETERINARY MEDICINE, WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, LAW, MEDICINE, AND MORE. A TOTAL OF 44 STUDENTS HAVE BEEN SPONSORED BY DAZZLE AFRICA, WITH 20 STUDENTS ON ACTIVE SPONSORSHIP IN 2024. LACK OF CLEAN, SAFE WATER POSES A MAJOR CHALLENGE FOR MANY FAMILIES AND VILLAGES IN THE LUANGWA VALLEY. WHEN FAMILIES DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO WATER, THEY MAY HAVE TO SPEND MANY HOURS EACH DAY FETCHING WATER OR USING WATER FROM UNSAFE SOURCES THAT CAN CAUSE ILLNESS OR DANGEROUS CONFLICT WITH WILDLIFE. THE RESPONSIBILITY TO GATHER WATER IS OFTEN PRIMARILY GIVEN TO WOMEN AND GIRLS, POSING FURTHER CHALLENGES TO THEM ATTENDING SCHOOL AND PURSUING EMPLOYMENT. THIS PROBLEM IS FURTHER EXACERBATED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND INCREASED DROUGHT. DAZZLE AFRICA DRILLS BOREHOLES IN LOCAL VILLAGES. THESE BOREHOLES PROVIDE CLEAN, SAFE WATER TO APPROXIMATELY 350 PEOPLE EACH. TO DATE, WE HAVE FUNDED THE CONSTRUCTION OF 81 BOREHOLES. |
