Hemingways Nairobi is proud to be associated with the Community Rugby Association (CRA) as part of our community social responsibility initiative. CRA was founded in 2008 to engage with underprivileged children to give them something positive to focus on and to nurture and identify talent at an early age, maintain focus, develop rugby skills and prevent indulgence in drugs and or the possibility of becoming street children. Drug awareness talks are given to the children and continue to be well received by them. The CRA has been organizing age grade rugby matches and competitions for young kids from the slums around Nairobi.

Training is run from open fields in the wider Nairobi area and takes place on Saturdays and Sundays. Each team has coordinators and supporting helpers. The vision is to establish a national program with adequate remuneration for the coaches thereby creating a bridging structure for the kids within the age grade structures to be able to progress into the established clubs and thereafter the national teams.

Born from one family’s passion for Kenya and its wilderness, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust is today the most successful orphan-elephant rescue and rehabilitation program in the world and one of the pioneering conservation organisations for wildlife and habitat protection in East Africa.

Spend a few hours in the company of young orphan elephants and learn about incredible rescue efforts and the world famous rehabilitation programme. You may also find yourself adopting one of the herd.
