Indonesian Orangutan Conservation Base

Location: East Kalimantan, Indonesia
Partner: CAN Borneo (Conservation Action Network Borneo)

In Indonesia, orangutans and many other wildlife have lost their homes and lives due to deforestation caused by oil palm plantation, mining, and logging. In an effort to conserve orangutans, ARI is working with CAN Borneo, a local NGO, to establish the first wildlife rescue and rehabilitation center in East Kalimantan. The center will provide rescue, medical care, and rewilding training for homeless wildlife and help them return to the forest. Meanwhile, we are working to protect natural habitats, and promote sustainable economic development in local communities.

Kenyan AntiPoaching Petrol Project

Location: Various locations in Kenya
Partner: African Network for Animal Welfare (ANAW)

In Africa, poachers often set hidden snares in bushes, tall grass, tree canopies, and around tree trunks. These traps are nearly invisible to roaming animals, who become ensnared as they pass by. Struggling to escape, the animals tighten the snares around themselves—often resulting in severe injuries, infections, and ultimately, death.
In Kenya alone, nearly 100 lions fall victim to snares every year. Zebras, antelopes, African buffaloes, giraffes, and many other species are also frequent casualties of this cruel and indiscriminate method of poaching.

Project Base of Anti-FGM in Kenya

Location: Oloitoktok Town, Eastern Kenya
Partner: MAGRIAF, Divinity

In Kenya’s Maasai communities, approximately 78% of women aged 15 to 49 have undergone female genital mutilation (FGM). These procedures are often performed in secret by individuals lacking professional medical training, and under unsanitary conditions. As a result, women face serious health risks, including severe infections, excessive bleeding, and increased vulnerability to HIV transmission.
ARI has partnered with two local NGOs—MAGRIAF and Divinity—to support girls at risk of FGM. Through these partnerships, ARI provides safe shelter, covers living expenses and tuition fees, and offers long-term opportunities for personal growth and development.

Support Project for Pneumoconiosis Family

Location: Pingxiang , Jiangxi, China
Partner: Xingjian

In Pingxiang, Jiangxi province, there are about 20,000 pneumoconiosis patients. Most of them were farmers who worked in coal mines ten or twenty years ago. The symptoms begin with a cough, chest tightness, and chest pain, gradually leading to immobility, dependence on oxygen, and eventually death. “Poverty by illness” is a keyword in their lives. When they got pneumoconiosis, they lost their jobs and many had to rely on subsistence allowance and pension insurance.
ARI cooperates with a local organization, Xingjian, to provide support to families with pneumoconiosis.
ARI has raised 10,000 CNY or so through campaigns and an online fundraising platform, which will be applied to purchasing medicine and devices for pneumoconiosis rehabilitation.

informed nearly 100 families how to make water purifiers. ARI students filmed a documentary Dirty Water Tap, one of the few documentaries made by students on the water status in African informal urban settlements, bringing more attention to African drinking water issue.
