HERD OF ONE PROGRAM
Herd of One is an African Elephant Conservation awareness and fundraising initiative by Sankara Nairobi, Autograph Collection and WWF -Kenya.
Through the Herd Of One program our guests can donate a dollar which goes towards the elephant conservation campaign in the Mara.
We appeal to you as our guest to be one with the elephants by donating and being aware of the conservation efforts to protect our elephants and become a part of the herd.
WWF Kenya - is an affiliate of the World Wide Fund for Nature conservation organisations with an active network in over 100 countries.
Why does it Matter? - In 1973, there were 165,000 African elephants in the Kenyan wild. Today, the population is as low as 35,000 due to poaching, habitat and migratory corridors loss.

Sankara Nairobi launches “A Narrow Band of Wave Lengths” Art Exhibition
Continuing its revolving art exhibitions in collaboration with one of Nairobi’s leading art galleries One Off Contemporary Art Gallery, Sankara Nairobi introduces “A Narrow Band of Wave Lengths” exhibition. Curated by Carol Lees around the theme of Monochromes, the newest exhibition brings together artists from diverse origins who work with black and white in different ways and who sculpt the same wooden material into immensely different pieces of art.
Thom Ogonga exhibits bold woodcut prints and Farrah Akbarali works meticulously with ink on paper. To compliment the two dimensional works, three sculptors has been chosen; Kenyan veteran sculptor, Morris Foit needs little introduction and already has many works in the Sankara Nairobi collection. Charles Kamya hails from Uganda and whilst he is a committed and well established artist, he has not been shown extensively in Kenya. The work of ‘Baldy’ Osborne is one of Kenya’s best kept secrets. The sophistication of this sculptor’s finish is indicative of a master craftsman in his chosen field.
