"The only way to do great work is to love what you do" - Steve Jobs.

It is easy to ignore that our children are primary victims of hunger and malnutrition which is accelerated by the ongoing climate change crisis.

The incredible work of Ripples International in advocating for the inclusion of children in climate action has inspired ,Sammy Mwongera,who will partner with the organisation in undertaking an extraordinary motorcycle journey! 🏍️ In just 10 days, he'll be riding from South Africa to Meru,Kenya, to create awareness on the ongoing crisis.

Ripples International's feeding programs for children are vital, making our partnership even more critical.This ride also symbolises his unwavering commitment to inclusive climate action. 🌍🌱

The African voice needs to be heard, and in return, Ripples International will mobilize school-going children from over 20 schools in Meru to plant at least 5 trees for every mile Sammy covers, totaling 20,000 trees. 🌳

Follow us along the journey and stay tuned for updates as Sammy, embarks on this epic adventure. 🌐👏

WORLD RHINO DAY on 22 September raises awareness for the plight of all species of rhinos. This is also an opportunity for businesses, governments, NGOs and other organizations to actively show their support to stop the senseless killing of these animals.

FIM AFRICA wishes to sensitize the African motorcycle community, in particular, on wildlife poaching and illegal trades and the need to preserve the wildlife for future generations.

Africa is famous for its wildlife, which draws thousands of tourists to Africa every year. African countries have seen a significant increase in poaching in recent years, mainly the rhino for its horn, but also the elephant for ivory. For all their strength and cunning, animals like rhinos, elephants and gorillas are no match for a poacher's rifle.



Poaching always has the potential to undermine so much of the work we’ve done over several decades to protect endangered species and to cause irreversible damage to our ecology and natural environment.



In 2013 FIM AFRICA decided to “adopt” the rhino as our mascot to create a greater awareness of the senseless and horrendous poaching of these beautiful creatures. FIM AFRICA has chosen the rhino to be representative of all African Wildlife that is endangered.
