Partner with us
For organisations who want work that holds
Tikobane brings something that is hard to buy and easy to lose: standing trust with households in and around Dete, and a team drawn from those same communities.
Who we partner with
What we bring to each kind of partner
Conservation organisations
We offer credible, long-standing relationships with communities on the Hwange National Park boundary — the households whose cooperation conservation depends on.
NGOs & development partners
A locally staffed delivery partner with existing community structures, safeguarding practice and monitoring in place across six programme areas.
Veterinary & animal welfare bodies
Established community outreach routes, trained community animal health volunteers and household-level trust in the Dete area.
Businesses & corporate partners
Meaningful social investment with named reporting, plus employment and apprenticeship pathways for programme graduates.
Government institutions
Coordination at ward and district level, community mobilisation capacity and reliable local reporting.
Community organisations
Joint delivery with schools, committees, churches and community groups already active in the area.
How it works
From first conversation to delivery
We will tell you if a partnership is not a good fit. That is more useful to both of us than a project that quietly underperforms.
- 01
Introduction
Tell us who you are and what you have in mind. A short conversation saves everyone time.
- 02
Scoping
We assess fit honestly — including whether the community need genuinely exists.
- 03
Agreement
Scope, roles, budget, reporting and duration agreed in writing before work begins.
- 04
Delivery & reporting
Joint delivery with community structures, and reporting on what actually happened.
