Our Partners

Because together anything is possible...


We are extremely proud to partner with the below organisations and charities to form a collaborative approach in raising awareness and funds to help solve the complexed issues of conservation.


Showdown Theatre Arts


Showdown Theatre Arts is a part-time theatre school based across Surrey and West Sussex for young people who have a passion for performing. Showdown enables members to learn about the industry whilst training and exploring their talent, working alongside professional’s and working towards performances in professional theatres to gain true insight and exposure to a performing career. Many of their past students have gone on to train at top drama schools, music academies and universities across the UK and USA, while other showdown students past and current have worked professionally in Film, TV, Commercials and in the West End.

The Roof of Africa School


The Roof of Africa is a Scottish registered charity that provides free education and family support to those living in poverty in Tanzania. Specifically the charity runs The Roof of Africa School in Sonu, a small rural village, set against the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro. The charity began building the School in 2017 and currently teaches over 100 children across five classes ranging from nursery to Primary 4. Expansion plans are also in hand, bringing the total to 9 classes. The classes are smaller in size than government schools to enable the highest quality teaching for every student. Teaching is delivered in English, but for many pupils this is their second or even third language. In East Africa, high schools teach in English so learning from a young age can be very beneficial. Day-to-day, students are taught English, Maths and Kiswahli. Though, the children also enjoy sports, arts and singing. They love showing off paintings that they have created and welcoming visitors - usually with handmade instruments and rhymes that they have learnt! Surrounding the school are luscious green gardens, where fruit and vegetables are grown to supplement the two free meals that the students receive each day. They are nourished and looked after by the school community. Haus of Conservation is working with the Roof of Africa School by donating regular funds that supports the fruit tree and vegetable gardens to help the school become fully plant-based. The aim of The Roof of Africa School becoming fully plant-based will help educate the children to create better "wellbeing for all life", this is the message that Haus of Conservation aims to spread around the world, to create a more compassionate and stable future for all life.

HOPE SEED  

An unhealthy ego can significantly affect your health and wellness-physically, mentally, and emotionally. When a person develops an inflated sense of self-importance, coupled with hypersensitivity, it can lead to chronic stress, anxiety, and a constant need for external validation. This sensitivity to criticism may also result in poor decision-making, self-doubt, and emotional turbulence. However, by turning inward and exploring our own consciousness more deeply, we can begin to balance the ego. This inner work fosters emotional resilience, builds stronger and more authentic relationships, cultivates healthy confidence, and enhances adaptability. In doing so, we move closer to a more compassionate, grounded, and healthier lifestyle.
