With any good conservation initiative comes a strong education program. Education initiatives which run alongside projects such as the reintroduction program at Umphafa ensure that it will be a success as you are working closely with and educating the local community. |

Umphafa has several education goals:
* To give local children the opportunity to learn about the indigenous wildlife in their area
* To educate the local community on new findings and their implications from relevant research undertaken at Umphafa.
* To educate the local farmers on more sustainable farming techniques which minimize their impacts on the local ecosystem.
* To raise awareness of the endangered status of many species found at Umphafa.
* To raise awareness of the problem of introduced non native plants and how to control them.
* To raise awareness within the local community of the conservation issues facing many species in their region and practical action which can minimize their impact on wildlife populations.
