Creation, Connection and Conservation

Raising Rhino Rands

We create beautiful, handcrafted rhino toys to fund the urgent protection and rehabilitation of Africa's threatened rhinos.

About Us

Empowering Women & Protecting Rhinos

We are more than just a conservation effort; we are a story of resilience and connection.

In September 2025, our founder, Tania, experienced an unexpected turn in her life, leading her to reconnect with her passion for people and rhinos and deciding to start up the organization again.

She began slowly but surely doing what she loved: creating, teaching, and donating. Currently, we are a small team—a group of ladies who have each, separately yet together, found connection after hard times. This new chapter is about being there for each other, empowering local women, and providing a direct, heartfelt contribution to the rhinos who need us most.

Partnering with Rhino Art

We are proud to support youth awareness through a powerful partnership. We currently back Project Rhino's incredible Rhino Art project. Through our special "Adopt a Rhino Donate to a child" initiative, we provide toys used as prizes and gifts in their youth awareness programs.

Fund Frontline Conservation

Every rhino you adopt directly funds the rescue, rehabilitation, and protection of rhinos. We only donate money to The Rhino Orphanage, and assist Project Rhino and Pilanesberg Wildlife Trust with fundraising.

Empowering Community Skills

We are dedicated to the Raising Rhino People projects, which aim to skill, train and educate local unemployed women in rural communities. Through our workshops, we teach the creation of our stuffed rhino toys, fostering connection and enabling self-supporting businesses in the community.
