Registered charity 1196422 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register

Elephant-Human Relations Aid supports EHRA in Namibia and has helped build peaceful relationships between free-roaming desert elephants and local communities in Namibia since 2003. Conflict exists due to shared land and resources amid droughts which leaves communities and animals without much food or water. Elephants, livestock and humans are sharing same waterpoints. This leads to conflict.
