Support the Mission
Your gift directly funds field research, fossil site conservation, and education programmes that connect the world to our shared origins across East Africa.
We stand at the intersection of science, conservation, and human curiosity.
For over five decades, the Leakey family and their team have worked at some of the world's most significant fossil sites — documenting, protecting, and sharing the evidence of who we are and where we come from. Your donation makes this work possible.
Where Your Gift Goes
Each gift enables us to continue work across East Africa's most important fossil sites, train the next generation of scientists, and protect irreplaceable human heritage for generations to come.
Fund excavation seasons, specialist equipment, and the scientists who uncover our shared evolutionary history in Kenya's remote north.
Protect vulnerable fossil beds from erosion, illegal encroachment, and the accelerating effects of climate change across 18 active sites.
Support field schools and community programmes that connect young people in the Turkana Basin to the science beneath their feet.
