Elephant Charge

NatPower will be partecipate in the third time at the Elephant Charge, the Fundraising Event, the annual off-road challenge organized to raise funds to support wildlife and environmental conservation in Zambia through education and teaching local children and communities for future generations.

The beneficiaries are selected from organizations that carry out initiatives in the environmental education and conservation sector in Zambia, after passing a selection and vote by the committee.

Over the past 15 years, since its beginning, the event has raised over $1.600.000 which has been distributed to conservation organizations working across the country to protect people and land.

Each year, in a different region of Zambia, the teams meet to challenge each other, with cars and motorbikes, to complete a race across the Zambian savannah.

For the NatPower team, this is the 3rd year of this competition and, as in previous years, our car is a 4×4 electric vehicle, in line with our values and activities.

In past years, many conservation organizations have been reached and helped, here you can see how many achievements have been realized.
